A quilt for Scruffy

As you know, Scruffy decided that my patchwork lap quilt would make a perfect bed for him.  As I was hoping to use the quilt, (after all, that's why I made it) I didn't really want him taking possession of it.  Chris said "You know you'll have to make him one now", so I did.
 I used pre-cut squares (although they weren't actually that accurately cut) from my rather large material stash and managed to make it over a weekend.  It would have been quicker except I originally used some of the backing fabric as part of the binding and it was too heavy and frayed too much, so it had to come off.  I then had to make more binding. 
Anyway, I think His Majesty likes the finished result.
Yes, he likes it!

  2. He does indeed look blissed out with his quilt. Mind you, I doubt that it will deter him from claiming yours when it suits.l

    1. Thanks, EC. Absolutely - and I will probably let him claim it if I leave it on the sofa...perhaps...

    1. Thanks, Chrissie. He does seem to like the quilt, so I am pleased about that. Being a cat, you never quite know how he will react!
