Assemble the Cat Quilt Top
- Arrange the blocks into three rows as shown on page 1.
- Sew the blocks in each row together. Press seam allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions, then sew rows together, matching seam intersections carefully. Pres the quilt.
Applique the Silhouette Cats and Butterflies
- Decide how many cats you would like. Make templates as needed for the applique technique you plan to use, then prepare the fabric for applique. Flip templates over to create mirror-image cats.
- Decide how many butterflies you would like and create templates as needed for the applique technique you've chosen. The simple shape can be cut and appliqued from one fabric. An easy and colorful aternative is to cut butterflies from a printed fabric and applique them to the quilt.
- Applique shapes to the quilt by hand or machine.
Finishing the Quilt
Mark the top for quilting if necessary.
Sandwich with batting and backing and
quilt as desired.
Make doublefold binding strips and
sew them to the quilt with mitered edges.
