Instructions

Use your imagination! What color do you think best suits a cat? Would you rather make them natural colors? What about a rainbow of books on the shelves?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Girls

Style: Cute


Materials

Lots of fabulous fabrics & matching threads, Fusible fleece and fusible web. Batting, backing & binding.

What was your inspiration?

When I was first bitten by the quilting bug, I wanted to design a quilt for my daughter.

My daughter, Erin, loves cats. Especially her cat, Fluffy. And she loves to read. She especially loves to read about cats. Her love is what inspired me to make my first quilt - the Krazy Katz quilt.

I designed the quilt to have a bookshelf surrounded by cats - featuring Erin's real life cat - Fluffy. He is the orange and white one. Erin saw my sketch and drew a little mouse on the shelf next to the sleepy kitty.

This was my first attempt at making a full size quilt. And I've been hooked ever since!

What are you most proud of?

That I finished this project, of course!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it! Learn something new! There are no mistakes, only learning experiences.

This is awesome! One of my Aunt's cats just passed away and I think I may make this as a commemorative quilt. I've saved the pattern to my wish list.

Sorry to hear of your Aunt's cat's demise... I am sure she will miss him/her. What a great idea - to make a quilt to remember her pet...

I really love this! So original and cute! What a lucky daughter - to have such a clever Mum to make her gorgeous quilts and to have Fluffy to cuddle as well!

This is adorable and super cute:) I love your colourful cats too! This is a great idea and so many variations could be made. Oh and I love the "there are no mistakes, only learning experience".
