Sixten projects based on cat designs which include quilts, bags, cushions and other accessories. Techniques are covered first with a description of a cat block which is used in several of the projects. Both hand and free motion embroidery are covered along with applique options.
A section on continuous bias binding is included as there are some curved projects which require this. Different fabrics options are discussed including the repurposing of clothing. Quilt backings are looked at before moving to the projects themselves. There are pattern templates which require enlarging.
