I finished this little quilt today. I know I said that I wasn't going to make any more little quilts, but I already had a little Cell Cat left over from another quilt, so I thought, how long can it take to work it into something...
Here's the pattern. But as you can see, I had trouble picking out colors and fabric that I was happy with. I also kept changing the drawing. I added a rug under the slippers.
I took off Cell Cat's collar and gave him a bow tie--it just seemed like he needed something a little dressier.
I started calling the girl cat Sophisticat, and had trouble gettin her head and face right. The polka-dots didn't work for her either. Then I changed the background several times.
In the end, it only took a couple of hours to quilt, but a whole week to get it ready to quilt. I used Melody's escape hatch finish, and that worked very well. This time I knew to trim as much as possible out of the seams.

Pam, I really really love your cartoon quilts! I find them to be a "signature" of your style and mark simply because I've not seen anything else like them in quilts. The woman and even the cats could become syndicated columns like the comic strip CATHY, only in fabric. :) With each quilt, we await the 'what next'...
