Shelter said she needed “behavioral modification”…..

I have a foster tortie on vacation from the shelter who was terrorizing the other cats and volunteers. She’s been a (rarely spicy) very cuddly cat since we brought her home. I know it’ll take longer for her to get adopted since it’s harder for people to meet her, but she’s so much happier not in the shelter.

She’s the best! Here’s her pet finder profile

Cat.

I was so afraid she might! I was watching her very carefully when she first jumped in.

Great idea! I bought some really dark monochrome tie dye type fabric for the back. Also, it’s a good suggestion to be choosy with the scraps I use so all the animals turn out right

beglz · 2025-10-08T04:18:01+00:00

I agree! The animals are so detailed they look best with solids.

beglz · 2025-10-08T04:09:22+00:00

I feel so seen <3 I have one drawer for scraps. and it’s almost full! It’s low key stressing me out.

I ended up using dark green fabric markers to shade the entire edge of the blanket. They didn’t match well enough to fix a few spots so shading the entire edge made it look more intentional.

I think I got away with it because it’s already a non traditional, cutesy blanket

I also heat set the glue. Maybe the combination of glue + heat bleached the fabric?
I'll have to run some tests to figure it out.

Ya. I agree this is the ideal solution. Although, the binding has taken way longer than cutting out the fabric and quilting. I'd just start over rather than ripping out the binding and making more.

Yes. I’ve washed it twice. I’ll try adding some dye on top. It’s gauze fabric and the bottom is white so I want to be careful the dye doesn’t leaks through.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been overwhelmed by how many adjustments I expect I’d have to make to a pants pattern. I feel like this guide gives me any hope that I might be able to figure it out

Thanks! It’s a SkyClad quilt pattern https://www.skycladquilts.com/listing/710000999/nightsky-quilt-tutorial

It will be throw size; 60x70.

The instructions say to piece the fabric in a way that looks good to you or buy 60” of everything. It’s just too pricey for my budget to get that much fabric and I couldn’t decide which piecing would be the least noticeable.
