Black, White and Red Cat Quilt

After I finished the last cat quilt I decided to make the same pattern but with more contrast. I had some cute black and white cat fabric and added some other red, white and black prints. The high contrast really shows off the pattern better. 

This is the completed cat patchwork from my last post. It's the same pattern as above but not as obvious. 

I've considered sewing the rows in a more random staggered fashion. Each stacked row of cat face blocks is a pattern unit by itself. There is no reason why they have to be lined up exactly horizontally. It would be interesting to see a high contrast example with randomly lined up rows. I guess I'll add that to my 'Ideas to Try' list.

Simple Cat Face Tessellation Quilt

The Cat placemat I made for Halloween came out so well I decided to make another Table Quilt using the same pattern but with some cat themed fabric I've randomly picked up along the way. 

I've cut all the fabric pieces and put them up on the design wall to preview. Now I just have to sew the ear pieces to each block. This is the basic cat face layout. I'll sew the ears for each cat face on the square above it to make the pattern. 

These will be the cat ear triangles. 

These are the basic blocks used and the construction and layout. 

Sewing the rows of cats. 

I'll repeat this until done. 

Only a couple more rows to go. 

Very simple. Thanks for reading.
