New Project: CAT QUILT

I decided since my kitty likes laying on my fabric all the time I should make her , her own quilt. So I found this piece of pink flannel with black paw prints allover it for a cuddly backing. Now I went to my stash of cat fabric. I am going to do a DP9 for her so I need 56 blocks wow one never knows how much fabric of one kind they have til they look. I am only doing one block from each fabric to get good variety and I will still have a ton left. Hope she likes it. Never knew I had over 60 pieces of cat fabric, all different.:icon_cool:

That is so many different types of awesome right there LOL.

The other day I saw a paper pieced cat quilt. It my have been in a book I have, but it was a cute design.

I have a paper pieced cat block of a mam cat and a baby in a basket it was really hard as all heck to do but I did it and have no idea what to do with it.. not the cat quilt for sure maybe a wall hanging. I will try and get a pic of it

Hmmm ... exactly how big is your cat? 56 blocks for a D9P sounds like a pretty big quilt.

OK, in doing the math the quilt would be 2 x 3 nine patches with 2 squares left over, if you meant squares and not blocks (as in a 9 patch).

was you thinking I have a pretty Bengal Tiger?!! heheh I actually meant 54 blocks then make the DP9's from those so yes 2 x 3 it will be a rectangle instead of a square but the piece of flannel is like 5/8 yard so it will be fine for her

Can't wait to see this Iris! I have ... well a lot of cat fabrics (a few dog bones and mixed dog/cat) for animal rescue funding raising.

Those fabric really make cute quilts :-)

Ohh here is the website I dream about making all these cat quilts -- way down my future

Iris, both the quilt and the kitty are lovely.... I too have a 'tuxedo' kitty..l and we love her to bits!

we have no grandkids so she is are baby she is 13 years old now and will always have a special place in our hearts. her mom found us when she was pregnant and we took her in, she gave us 4 beautiful long haired kitty's, 2 went to my boss and we kept 2 one met with an untimely accident that makes me cry, this is the one I helped birth , I cut her cord as her mom was tiny and just had no energy after the she gave birth to this one. talk about being scared...

Oh Iris, that is so touching..And you were wonderful to take mom in.... Our miss buttons is very special to us too as being brain damaged, she has her limits. Never has a kitty touched our hearts the way this one has. She makes us laugh every day and loves everyone who comes into our home... I don't have any kids so my kitties are like little kiddies in fur coats! Have a good one... Puuuurrrrr

Fabulous! I bet Bugger is wondering what all those cats are doing on his quilt. ;)

Cute quilt and cute kitty! Love all the different cat fabrics. They are so fun!
