After releasing the Puppy Kisses quilt pattern earlier this year, I knew I wanted to make a cat version! And it's finally here!

Like the Puppy Kisses pattern, Kitten Cuddles also has 3-D minky ears!
The final version of this pattern is very different than the sketch I originally drew at the beginning of the process. Every single part is slightly different from the original idea. I made many blocks throughout the process, changing something just a bit then making another block.
One thing that I changed several times during the design process was the purple fabric. I started with light purple, then thought about using pink, then picked out turquoise fabrics (because that's my favorite color!), then landed on dark purples. I really like how it makes the cat faces stand out!
The purples are a mix of print fabrics, solids, and batiks. Just whatever I could find in my stash (and my mom's stash!) that were dark purple.
The faces are raw-edge applique with solid fabrics.
The pattern includes a pillow version too!
I really do love how the minky ears stand up!
I quilted it with an all-over meander stitch with gray thread, and I stitched just a bit into the ears to keep them standing upright so they don't fall over.
The pattern is available now in my Etsy shop!
Are you a cat person or a dog person? Would you make a cat quilt??
