If you’re a pet lover, you know your bed is a special place for your pets. In this case, we’re talking about cats. This charming, handmade “cat in mischief” quilt features applique cats getting into trouble in the various quilt blocks in the center.

Detailed quilt blocks around the edge fill in the cat quilt design with patterned cottons in blue, purple and beige colors bordered with navy blue solid cotton fabrics.

This brand new imported cat in mischeif quilt is backed with a beige plaid cotton in the event you want to give the cats a break in your bedroom decor.

This medium weight cat in mischief quilt has paw prints and mice around the outside center blocks, adding a nice touch of whimsy. With these applique paw prints, doubt you’ll notice the real ones.

These cat quilts are finished with hand quilting.

All that’s missing are the real cats!

Green Cats Quilt

Charming applique cats quilt blocks with a definite St. Patrick's Day green theme.

Green Cats Quilt

It's St. Patrick's week in Rolla, Missouri, home of Missouri University of Science and Technology and the traditional St. Patrick's Day-related celebrations tied to the Patron Saint of Engineers.

The week-long revelry is much milder than when I first moved here, a good thing from my perspective but much-missed by some alumni who forget the rougher days of youth partying through the lens of nostalgia. The community gets ready for the festivities months ahead, and I was thinking about some of those crazy, fun details when I spotted these green cats quilt blocks - the town gets it's green on - and there's definitely a green theme to this cat quilt.

This applique cat block caught my eye first, maybe only I saw it but it appears to be a tribute to one of my favorite vegetables, broccoli:

This little cat reminds me so much of a head of broccoli, which I also love!

The front paws and tail look like the broccoli florets I cut to steam!

This next applique cat is a wonderful nod to texture. Besides the thick black eyelashes, the embroidery gives a three-dimensional feel to the tail and the muzzle:

Love the detail in this applique cats, especially the white muzzle and fluffy tail.

Making every quilt block different does take more time but it's fun to have every block unique. And last but not least, the little green cat wearing his little green tux:

This little green cat makes me smile, wearing a little green tux so happy and welcoming.

So maybe he's not wearing a tux but he has the attitude of one that is wearing one and his face is so happy and welcoming, like a little cat doorman.

From our green town to yours, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
