My cats like to sleep either in a basket, like the one in this mini quilt, or on top of a quilt (preferably the one I’m working on!).

For this little quilt, I combined traditional pieced basket blocks in my favorite reds an blues with a little bit of appliqué, to give it a more personal touch. Don’t be affraid to add some brighter colors in the appliqué to make it pop!
