I love cats! I made it the quilt because I have desired for over a year to make one. I researched all cat quilts online I could find. This was my favorite cat, Simple yet you could do so much with hand embroidery on the face and cat! My sister Angela has two wonderful (yet aging) cats, Duke and Daisy!

I made up my own pattern and everything as I went along. I am sure this is out there somewhere, but I made it up step by step! Love to learn this craft of Quilting and want to learn all I can and improve in my craft, too! I had an online friend suggest doing the "attic window" method. I researched it too and made up how to do it. It's special because it's the first "large" quilt I have done by myself including the tricky (for me) binding. I still want to quilt in a tail for the cats, but will do it at a future time!

Photos I tried to take of Duke (L) and Daisy (R) at Xmas 2009!
