Hi there, it’s Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl and I’m getting my “crazy cat lady” on today!!!I am so totally smitten with the Woof Woof Meow fabric line from Moda! I knew I wanted a fun throw quilt using all the cat fabrics from this fabric line. Grab your cat and let’s get sewing!!
You will love how easy this quilt comes together and I love the scrappy feel it has! It’s the purrrrrfect size for you and your fur baby to cuddle with!!
I choose to use HeatnBond Featherlite for the applique because the cat head appliqué pieces are larger and I didn’t want to add bulk to the quilt. I love this weight because you can hardly tell it’s there.
You can download the cat head pattern, 2 per sheet by clicking HERE. Put the HeatnBond EZ Print Featherlite sheets in your printer and no tracing needed!!
Scraps and Cats Quilt by Amanda Niederhauser

Block Size 10″
All seams 1/4″
Scraps and Cat Quilt Supplies:
HeatnBond EZ Print Featherlite Adhesive Sheets
3 yard solid white/cream
assortment of 10 or more fat quarters, lights and darks – Woof Woof Meow line
For the cat head block cut (21) 10 1/2″ squares from the solid white fabric.
Scraps and Cats Quilt Instructions:
Once you’ve got the pattern, heat set it to the wrong side of the cat head. Cut around it and fuse to the 10 1/2″ solid blocks. Then sew around each cat head 2 times with dark thread, I used navy.
For the chain blocks, cut a variety of fabrics (for a scrappy look) into 2 1/2″ squares. You need:
(84) white low volume print 2 1/2″ squares (I used the low volume prints that were in the fat quarter bundle) for the 9-patch
(189) dark print 2 1/2″ squares
(84) solid white 2 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangles
I used navy just to show color, mix up all the different fabrics for a scrappy look!!!
Sew the 9-patch unit together.
Then add the borders by sewing a rectangle to each side and pressing. Sew the corner squares to the ends of the remaining 2 rectangles. Press. Sew on to the top and bottom of the 9-patch unit. Press. Make 21 blocks.
Lay out blocks in 6 blocks across by 7 blocks down. Sew each block together in rows, press toward the cat heads. Sew the rows together, matching seam intersections. Press.
