Happy October 1st, everyone! My favorite month of all. And I’ve been waiting since I started this blog in January to share this with you.
My mom made me this quilt for my birthday two years ago. It’s one of my favorite things in the whole world – and the best napping accoutrement there is.
Gotta show you the block up close — it’s called “Copy Cats” (scroll down on that link). Look what happens when it’s upside down:
When we first brought this quilt home, Athens, our black cat, spent about 72 hours laying on it. I’d move it to another room, and he’d follow it there. As if to say, “This is a mighty friendly spot. Why do you keep moving it?”
I’m a big fan of the vintagey border, which is quilted along the panels, so it looks really cool.
And wouldn’t you know, the year my poor mother was making this for me was also the year I decided to put the word out that I wasn’t interested in receiving Halloween-themed birthday gifts anymore. And she was already hard at work on this quilt. Ack! My big mouth. I’m so glad she went ahead and finished it. I wouldn’t trade my Halloween quilt for anything.
This sooooo cool! I love the pumkin expresion!
How CLEVER she is! Thanks for sharing.

WOw, I really like this quilt pattern a lot. It way cool, and so are your mom’s colour choises! The black kitties rock toO! :-) I’m making a cat blanket right now, quilted but not using a pattern. We’ll see when it is finished!

SisterDiane, I love this quilt! I’m working on lots of Halloween quilts right now too. Some even have glow-in-the-dark fabric too! Are you an October baby? If so, happy birthday!
