I found the pattern called Smitten with Mittens and was on the verge of making it, as it has little snowmen coming out of the cuffs of the mittens, but then I decided to put my grand cats in the mittens instead. I hand button hole stitched the mittens down with wool thread and machine appliqued the cat's heads with invisible thread (don't look too closely), and renamed the quilt, Smitten with Kittens. My daughter thought it was a good idea, too!

I wasn't really looking for any cat fabric, but this Debbie Mumm piece of fleece was on a huge sale and I knew my daughter would just need (ha) another quilt with cats associated with it, so I bought 2 1/2 yards, put in warm and natural batting and that flannel backing, bound it with the flannel stripe and it is so warm and snugly that the 4 quilt magnets (her cats) approved of it immediately as did my daughter. I just did a simple meander with an off white thread and now I'm on a mission with this nice soft fleece. No piecing, no measuring, just load it and quilt it and bind it and there you go!
