The Great Sewing Room Cleanup Giveaway #5: Cat Quilt Blocks
Update: The giveaway is now closed, and we have a winner: Nancy W. from Florida. Thanks to everyone who entered. We’ll be posting a new giveaway soon.
We’re STILL working on finding new homes for the bottomless pile of unfinished projects in our sewing room, and that means one lucky blog reader will get this set of 12 beautiful cat blocks, absolutely free. The blocks are 7″ x 5.5″, and it looks to us like they were made with reproduction Civil War fabrics.
Will you be the lucky winner?
To enter the giveaway, just scroll down and leave a comment on this post. (If you’re a first-time commenter, your comment will go to our anti-spam filter to be approved, but don’t worry — we check the filter daily to make sure we don’t miss you.) The winner will be chosen randomly on Friday, September, 1, from all the comments.
Love these cats! I have four and these would be so easy to adopt into the pride 😉 No hissing or spitting allowed!
Thanks,
I just bought the book “Quilts for Beginners” and anxious to give it a go. I never tried quilting before now because I don’t enjoy a lot of hand sewing but enjoy sewing by machine. This is right where my interest lies. I don’t have any material picked out as yet but I do believe I have all the equipment I need. If it works out as planned I’m hoping to make a quilt for each of my children…and who knows, maybe grandchildren! What an awesome heirloom that would be! I do enjoy your newsletters/tutorials and find them helpful especially as a beginner. It’s especially fun for us readers to have the opportunity to win some of your giveaways. It’s a win, win situation! Many thanks for taking the time to help others.
Best of luck, Nancy! Please come back and ask any questions that come up for you.
I finished my first project…quilt as you go runner. I am very pleased how it turned out for my first try at quilting. HOWEVER, I am clearly doing something wrong with the mitered corners. I am stopping 1/4 inch from the end, turning the binding up with the 45 degree angle at the right and then bringing the binding straight down lining up the raw edges and stitching along the edge. When I flip the binding over it just doesn’t lay correctly….or I just don’t understand how it should lay. The stitches do catch a small portion of the 45 degree angle. To me, it just appears I’m doing something wrong. Can you give me any advice on this? Are there any videos to watch to help me out?
Thank you for your help.
Nancy
Hello all, I am anticipating learning so much and sharing my highs and lows as I learn. I haven’t quilted before but can sew. Any tips and advise are much appreciated. I love the block #5. The boxes seem so fun to me, as well as attempting to reconstruct the kitty design in my mind. Lynne

My sister just had 2 cats die within 6 months of each other. One was 19 and the other 18 1/2. Would love to make a quilt in memory of them for her. She has two new kittens now and it is taking some getting used to after having 2 old ladies for so long. Thanks for sharing your blocks.
I have a very dear friend who adores cats. She has 3 of them right now, all of them rescue cats. I would make these blocks into a lovely wallhanging for her!
Like the pattern. Is it available????? Use to have a couple of cats Thankx
Sorry, Pat, we only have the blocks — not the pattern.
I would love to win these kitty blocks. I am mom to four fur babies – they are definitely spoiled! And Civil War prints are among my favorites. I think they would make an awesome wall hanging in my living room. Something to be treasured and admired daily! =^..^=
Love,love quilting. Love your site also. I’d love to get the squares with thecats on them. Thank you so very much.
We lost our cat Duffy a few months ago. He was only 7 years old and apparently had either a stroke or heart attack during the middle of the night.Shocked to find him in the AM! He was everything to us. Just two weeks ago, we finally felt comfortable enough to adopt another cat. Only 3 months old weighing 3.5 lbs. His name is Brady.He is very sweet and affectionate, but also a mad man on paws. He will be a challenge to train him to the house rules.
Maybe, just maybe if I am fortunate enough to win the cat blocks and make a quilt with them, Brady just may get an idea of what quiet time is!
Thank You
I am a beginner, my first quilt is a kitty theme. I love cats and love to quilt them. Thank you for a chance to win these adorable cats.

Cats are such amazing creatures.
I just love the kitty blocks! I have always wanted to make one of the quilts using that pattern but I’m new to quilting so it has been a bit intimidating. But this would be purrfect!!
Cats have been part of my life for over 60 years. I currently have a 12-year old cat named Sandra Dee, who loves to help me quilt when I’m pinning for a hand-tied quilt. I will snap a picture of her on the quilt and show the quilt recipient that I had help from my fur baby.
I see a wreath of cats being made!
My sister is a cat lady. She always has 4 or 5 cats. Would love to win so I could make her a lap quilt. Hat birthday is 10/08. Thank you
The cat blocks are adorable. I am highly allergic to cats but think they are beautiful animals. Now these cats I could enjoy and cuddle with them.
Would love to win the cat blocks. Cats are my favorite animal. They keep me sane especially now that my hubby is ill with colon cancer and liver cancer. Sewing can take my mind away from it for a little while.

The cats are great.I am known as the Cat Lady as we have 2 rescue indoor cats and am feeding a feral family (mom, dad and 3 kittens) that have been here for about 4 months now. They come when I call and let them know I put out their meal. The cat fabric is what I have been looking for as my daughter is a history 5th grade teacher. They go all out when they hit the wars and the teachers dress all week in period clothing and decorate the rooms. I thought it would be nice to make a small quilt for her to put on the wall. First time writer.
