There was a thread about this last week. The one with the cat didn't have a pattern. It was some kind of swap where she received blocks. Then she added a photo print of her cat and some other things. It's on Flickr, I think. She tells about how she did it. I believe the thread from last week was something like "books and cats". I can't remember which of the major fabric companies is coming out with a "bookshelf" type pattern pretty soon, but it's already listed on their website.
I can't find last weeks thread. Maybe some one else has a better memory.
