"Cats Dressed in Hats" is made from a pattern I call Noodle Recipe. The pieced 8" finished blocks are made from 2.5" strips sewed together, cut into 4.5" segments and sewed together in units of 4. I'm sure these blocks have a name, if you know it please tell me in a comment.
I pieced the backing from yellow and white gingham flannel and the top strip of novelty flannel. Cute and cozy~!

I quilted it using white Auriful with walking foot waves.
"Cats on Skis" is also made using my Noodle Recipe, except that I flipped the color placement on some of the blocks to create 2 sets of blocks used in alternating rows for a different look.
It has a pieced flannel backing of 3 fabrics.
