Cat made of squares

Yesterday I was able to get caught up on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. These are the first blocks for the quilt I'm calling "Cats of a Different Color". The original pattern was called "Cats in the Attic" and it was created by the late Pam Bono. Here's what her original quilt looked like: My plan for this quilt is to make three of each of the four cats, but I'm not making the "attic window" style block. I'm just floating my cats. The blocks finish up at 12 inches (12-1/2 unfinished). I have…

We had a nice break from the rain yesterday. It was sunny but chilly when the kitties and I ventured outside to fill the birdfeeders. Sadie was on the hunt for anything small and furry. Smitty paused to sniff the crisp December air. This is his bad-woofie-detection mode. I noticed a silly geranium that doesn't seem to know it's December. We didn't stay outside long. Back inside, we went to work finishing up the latest cat for the Ties & Tails quilt. Smitty was ready to help. Fortunately, all…

I'll be making a cat quilt for my daughter. This is a very easy block to make and you can see each step on the Missouri Star Quilt tutorial https://www.missouriquiltco.com/land/tutorials/pins-paws-cat-quilt/index.html Your cats can be any color but please use either a white on white low volume background or a light blue or light blue low volume background. Cats can be facing either way. I have posted pictures below of my blocks. A block will consist of two cats. Finished block size is 9 1/2"…

Kittens all done. Now she has to graduate to get it! Maybe not! A lot of hand sewing and quilting but fun one to do.

SARAH has started the H2H Challenge for 2020. A lead in with 'Charmed I'm Sure' - simple quilts made from charm squares. You can find her informational page HERE for sign ups, sponsors, and list of donation sites, etc... **and you do have the option of donating locally** I've had this mock up in my files for a long time and since my year's goal is to tackle my animal patterns/fabrics - this is a great one to use for a H2H quilt. 2.5" squares would give you a 34"x42" (maybe add a border for…

a cat and heart themed quilt to wrap up some love

Hello all, Long time no blog! So, I thought I'd start off gently (for my benefit really) and talk about a quilt I've started. It's 'The Kittens' by Elizabeth Hartman. I'm not generally very good at following patterns, but this one has been a dream. It really is very easy to follow. Very clear cutting and piecing instructions. I'm really happy with the results. I've got quite a few more to make but you can really get a wriggle on once you've got the pieces cut. You may have noticed in the…
