Cattitude Mini Quilt


One of the things I like about making garments out of quilting cottons is that the scraps can be easily incorporated into quilts (a novel idea, I know). Even after using up the leftover Catnap yardage from my Crazy Cat Lady Dress on a Cattitude Wiksten Tank, I still have scraps of these two fabrics coming out of my ears. I’m not complaining, though, since the little cat faces are just too darn cute. Since I already had quite a few full size quilts in progress or waiting to be started, I decided to whip up a quick mini quilt to scratch my itch. In addition to the scraps I wanted to use up, I grabbed a few fat quarters from my stash, cut out a bunch of 3.5” squares, and I was on a roll. The finished piece is 15” by 15” and I quilted it in a simple grid by quilting ½” from each seam on each side. It was super quick and super satisfying and will be super cute as a wall quilt.
