Grumpy Cat Pillow

by Julie Hirt

It’s Grumpy Cat!  I think he’s upset the background is purple. hehe

The second I saw the pattern on Instagram, I bought it.  You can find the ‘Grouchy Cat’ paper piecing pattern here or here. Sew What Sherlock is a mad genius with this!

My cat has a teensy little mistake by his eye, but we’ll just ignore that.  This is the 18″ version and I added a 2″ border so I could make a pillow cover.

I’ve never paper pieced with such large pieces before, so it was a little interesting getting the angles for the fabric right.

This morning I turned my Scrap Medley blocks into a pillow cover.  You can purchase the pattern from my Craftsy store for a buck.

I’m determined to make 2014 a year of finishes for all of my WIP.

………. and I just got sidetracked for an hour looking at Grumpy Cat meme’s.

I don’t have a cat but I do have three dogs.  One of them really wanted in the pillow pics.

If you make a Grumpy Cat I must see it!

    I have been participating in the paper piecing Doctor Who along from Trilliam design and Soma has a great little tutorial on how to do your angled pieces so as not to waste fabric. It is worth a look it took me a few goes but now I have the hang of it. Here is the link if you are interested. 😉 http://trilliumdesign.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/doctorwhoalong-block-2-timelord.html
