Modern Contemporary Quilt Patterns –

Approx Size:  66″ x 66″

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.

Materials for Cat Sampler
12 colorful fat quarters (18” x 21” each) or assorted scraps.
3/4 yard light solid fabric for face details
1/4 yard dark solid fabric for eyes and noses
3 yards mid-tone solid background fabric
4-1/4 yards backing fabric

30 colorful fat eigths (9” x 21” each) for cat faces

Yardages are based on fabric at least 42″ wide.

Optional Glasses Appliqué
The Kittens includes full-size patterns for making two different styles of glasses appliqué, which can be used with either version of the quilt. For each glasses appliqué, you will need a 5” x 10 piece of fabric and a 4” x 9” piece of lightweight fusible web.
