I saw this pattern, Wrap Up Some Love, on Quilt Fabrication a while back and knew it would be the purrfect quilt for my kitten loving friend. My friend, Marylyn, takes in abandoned kittens and cares for them. Many are just days old and need to be bottle fed around the clock. Sometimes she has a whole litter with their momma. This is her ministry!
SHE ❤️ KITTENS!
So I bought the pattern but as usual, it sat for a while.
I finally got around to picking out fabrics from my stash...each kitten a different fabric as well as the hearts. I used Kona Snow as the background.
I made the pattern without the sashing.
I found the purrfect backing fabric of cat whiskers from The Fabric Shack.
It finished at 35" x 40"
I quilted it in straight diagonal lines in 3/4" and 1/2" intervals and made a cute kitten label.
I hope my friend likes it! It was her birthday last weekend and we will get together today!

Linking up to Scrap Happy Saturday at So Scrappy tomorrow.
I’m quite smitten with these kittens! Your friend will be over the moon upon receipt! Enjoyed seeing your RSC project, too! It’s going to be beautiful in a scrap happy way!
ReplyDeleteI love how your version of my Wrap Up Some Love turned out - well done! My sister also fosters kitties, and has taken in 3 blind ones. Those that take in the cats really are saints.
ReplyDeleteThe Kitten quilt is so adorable! She’s going to love it. I’m glad you left out the sashing. There are many quilts that I think would look better without sashing. But that’s just my personal opinion. Your scrappy strips look so awesome. Is the last color yellow? I can’t wait to see this finish.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! That it TOO cute, Dawn! Congrats on getting your RED column done for the RSC.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pattern! And I love your version with the kitties closer together. So cozy! I can hear the purring from here. Your friend is going to adore this quilt :)
ReplyDeleteLove the kitty quilt. I had to come and check it out (from Finished or Not). I will have to look for the pattern (and yes, I have soft spots for cats). Looks like the only thing missing from your rainbow is yellow.
ReplyDeleteWahoo indeed! This is a terrific quilt for a cat lover. I'm sure your friend will love it. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. I am not a cat person in all honesty but it will be loved by your friend. When there is a lot of thought into the quilt made for someone, it is just so special. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty kitten quilt, of course your friend will love it!
ReplyDeleteYour kitty quilt is adorable, and sounds like the perfect gift for your friend! And, of course, I always love your HST columns in the RSC color of the month.
ReplyDeleteThat cat quilt is purrfect! She is going to love it. Your colorful rows are looking great. Almost ready to put together.
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! What a purrrrrfect quilt for your friend. What a sweet ministry she has. I love all your RSC strips - I wonder what the last color for the year will be. It looks like it needs a yellow, maybe. We'll see. {{Hugs}} and Happy Labor Day. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteYour cat quilt is absolutely adorable!! I am sure she will just be smitten as a Kitten with it!!!
