In anticipation of moving back to the East Coast, I began making plans to make our two cats quilts for their crates. It will be a loooooong drive, and the fleece blankets didn't seem substantial enough for five days in a crate for Dmitri when we moved from Maine to Idaho three years ago. So, I received Quilting For Dummies for Christmas and have been studying it ever since. As I read each chapter, I obtained supplies as described in that chapter. Finally, I had a 3 day weekend and everything I needed.
So, I bought batting for a twin size quilt and divided it into fourths. That will be two quilts for each kitty. Dmitri got to have the first quilt. I kept it pretty basic, not using quilting squares or any patterns. I just had enough fabric to cover the top and bottom, then a different color for the edging. It wasn't perfect, but Dmitri liked it just fine:
Then, Katya got jealous and wanted to hide under it, too. So she kicked Dmitri out and hid:
Then Dmitri contemplated smashing her for it, but decided to be nice and let her hide:
So, I'm going to learn from my mistakes and start putting together Katya's quilt. Maybe tomorrow . . .
Great job! So cute and they seem to like them.
