Years ago I bought a panel of cats and dogs called Woof Woof Meow. I got a jelly roll of the fabric and while I made the cat and her kittens, I never finished up the quilt. Well, five years later, I finally finished up the Cat Quilt with Pockets.
The cats and dogs were fabric panels designed by Stacy Iest Hsu. If you remember I made some of these little cuties a couple of years ago. At that time I even made them a small quilt to wrap them in so that they would stay warm.
Now I've finished the kids quilt made from the jelly roll and added five pockets to the front of the quilt. I designed the quilt and when I bought the fabrics I knew that I wanted to add some pockets for the kittens or puppies.
Here is a pic of two of the kittens in their little pockets. I thought it would be fun to crawl under a quilt and have your pets close by. You could also use the pockets for other toys, too.
Here is the quilt before I added on the pockets. I made the pockets with a gather so that the pets would fit into them. I have to say, I'm so glad that it's done. I put it in my granddaughter's room in hopes that she will like it.
What's to come? There are still more strips in the jelly roll that have blue fabric in them. Maybe someday I will make a second quilt with some dogs to match. You never know.
