The Kittens Quilt

From Oh Fransson:

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.

Both quilts shown in this pattern feature my Rhoda Ruth print collection for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, which will be available in September 2015.
