At the beginning of October, my son and girlfriend brought over a bag each of their old tee shirts in hopes that I would be able to use them in a quilt for each of them. I had used a couple of their shirts to make into pillows. With a lot of tee shirts, I was able to pick out the best to use on the backside of their quilts.

So I decided to make her quilt in a cat theme. I had enough leftover batiks and also the paw print motif fabric that was used in my son's quilt to make a rainbow of cats. I followed the Missouri Star's cat pattern. Got to love Missouri Star's Youtube!!
The backside has the tee shirts from her high school years; tee shirts that she got from Taiwan when visiting her Grandparents.
For my son's quilt, I had already purchased a fabric with paw prints as the motif back when JoAnn's was going out of business and before doggie. My son had been talking about getting a Shiba Inu for at least a year. I wanted this quilt to be for the dog since my son already has many quilts from me. I used scraps from my stash to use as the chain in the Irish Chain pattern.
An eclectic grouping for an eclectic group of tee shirts.
The dog isn't a blanket kind of dog, but he didn't mind for this photo. I think he doesn't mind being on top of the blanket, just not inside it. My son was good by rescuing a 4 year old Shiba!! The sweetest Shiba!!!
