Saturday saw me finish up Relic's cat mat.
And I couldn't be more pleased with it. It's nothing crazy - just 3 inch squares and HSTs assembled to form a paw print. I bought the fabric specially for it, but I think it would be fun with scraps too.
I used the cheaper polyester batting and stitched in the ditch along each square to give it some extra poof.
The back was part of the second chunk of Holly Hobby fabric, and I hope that helps to ward off the chill from the cold tiles. I do need to
put some sort of gripper on the back, because we keep waking up in the
morning and finding it halfway across the house!
It's been a hit with ALL the cats, not just Relic. Though I haven't been able to get a shot of Rupert on it yet.

Nice! Those kitties of yours sure have the life!
What a cute mat. You may have to make one for all of them. LOL
I love it! Looks like the mat is a hit with all your fur babies.
Great Idea. My cats would probably love a cat mat. I have a knitted mat that i'm saving... I don't know why. Perhaps I'll give it to the cats for Valentines day.
That turned out so cute!! I bet he likes to just drag it wherever he wants to go to take a little snooze. Nice job!
We use small pieces of rug gripper to keep cat beds and stuff in place.
Great job! I always love when the cats actually appreciate something we make for them <3 (Rather than trying to steal things that aren't theirs or turning their nose up at what IS theirs unless it's doused in catnip!)
Adorable, and he obviously loves it! He's a smart fellow.
What an awesome cat mat! I love the fabric, and love seeing the cats in action with it. Is that someone's pet rabbit toy? I can't have pets, maybe I should get one of those too! Waiting for Ru's pic. hehe. Also, that rug gripper stuff is great that Eastside Cats described, you don't have to affix anything to your pretty project, but maybe you already know this? Sorry. Just trying to be helpful, not annoying!
This is adorable!!!!
Cute! And what a good idea!
I love it! It came out very well- and is clearly a hit!
That's a great idea. No matter how many cat beds I buy they always just want to sit on whatever project I am working on. I should just give up and make them a quilt of their own too.
Awww! That is a great idea and you made it very cute not just functional , too!
Love the pics with most of the kitties!
