Copy Cat Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

I was excited when I found COPY CAT QUILTS.As a cat lover, I couldn't wait to see all the patterns for cat quilts Ms. Navarro put in her book.Alas, I was disappointed.There were really only two patterns.True, there are six different projects but only the two different cat patterns.I don't need a book to tell me that I can take four blocks and make a pillow instead of a quilt or decrease the size of the "cat" to make a smaller quilt.

With that said, I do LOVE the cat pattern that she has designed.It even comes with a stuffed ball at the feet of each cat.I would be "lazy" and stuff a yo-yo rather than go through the trouble of sewing two circles, turning and stuffing.After all, the opening of the yo-yo will be placed faced down and the ball sewn around to attach it to the quilt.

I am glad to see the cat is all pieced, not paper pieced and while there are a lot of pieces to make each cat, he does turn out very cute.Embroidery is used to complete his face so you can make your cats happy, sad or mischievous.The projects all have material and cutting lists and instructions on how to put the blocks together.Ms. Covey has left the quilting pattern to finish the quilt up to you.

The Feline Dolls cat has the template included in the book which is the second pattern I referred to earlier.If you are a quilter that thinks "outside the box", then this book might be a bit disappointing. But if you are the type of quilter that needs detailed instructions to make each and every item you quilt, then this book will give you six wonderful projects to work on.
