Meet The Kittens! Simon, Chrissy, Bacon Bits, Daisy, and Mr. Snuggles will be the purrfect addition to your next quilt.
This pattern includes instructions for making two versions of a 66" x
66" cat quilt, each featuring 8" x 10" cat blocks. The Sampler Cats
version includes 5 unique cat blocks and is perfect for using solids and
monochromatic prints (and for duplicating the faces of your feline
friends). The Plain Cats version is ideal for using large-scale and
multicolor print fabrics.
The Kittens quilts are made using conventional piecing methods. No
paper piecing or templates are used. You will just need your favorite
fabric marking tool. A complete list of the pieces needed for each block
is also included, so it's easy to use scraps and/or make blocks to use
in other projects.
