Curious Kittens Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Curious Kittens Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Description:
Curious Kittens combines five variations of pieced blocks with appliqued cats in an 80-by-96-inch quilt. Wendy Sheppard designed the intermediate project for the Catsville collection by Gareth Lucas. Rectangular pieces and a template-pieced slanted book create the block arrangements, while three cat appliques add eyes, noses and a choice of tails. Sashing divides the blocks into five rows of four, and three successive borders frame the assembled quilt center.
