Remember this stack of 7 tops? Well, I've got them all done, hooray!
First up, purple cats. These quilts were designed to maximize use of the many cat themed fat quarters I had my stash. (A couple of summers ago I acquired about 24 yards of cat fabric!)
An all over FMQ meander took care of the quilting. I found I could get the quilting done in about an hour.
A teeny butterfly print for the back. I also used the back
on this quilt.
Next, the orange cat quilt. This is one of my favorites.
More FMQ with orange variegated thread. Actually two different ones. I totally didn't pay attention to the first spool I grabbed for this project and ran out after doing half the quilt. Fortunately I had another spool that was similar enough to get away with it.
The back. I also have used this backing previously as well,
on this quilt.
Each of these quilts finishes around 50" x 60". They are destined for Operation Snuggles, specifically Camp Serenity which is a camp for children who have lost a parent to the war.

What pretty quilts…love the orange one!!!
Rachel, What are the measurements of the cat blocks? I think you listed it before but I can't find it. I might have to use this pattern to get rid of large pieces of fabric in my stash. Thanks!
Loving the purple one!
I really like the orange one. How did you acquire so much cat fabric?? I'm not so keen on cats so don't think I would be able to handle all that cat fabric, haha. When I read the title I actually thought you were making quilts for a cat shelter! Hahaha, sometimes I surprise myself with how silly my thought process is.
