My friend Melissa from Polka Dot Chair has the most adorable mermaid fabric line! It’s called Let’s Be Mermaids from Riley Blake Designs!
The colors are pink, teal, green, navy and periwinkle! Such a fun variety!!
I knew I wanted to put a little kitty cat spin on the mermaid fabric because, well, I LOVE cats!!
So I came up with this fun little quilt! It will be hanging in my quilt room soon!!!
Here’s how you make it:

For the letters, I used may Sizzix alphabet die. I fused Heat n Bond Lite to the wrong side of the navy fabric.
Then die cut each letter, peeled off the backing paper.
I heat set them into place and stitched around the letters. I stitched around each of the shapes 2 times in navy thread and I sewed the whiskers with the machine as well. Of course you can hand appliqué if you want 🙂
Once the appliqué is finished and the quilt is put together you can have fun quilting it!
I’m actually super in love with it! It makes me smile!!
Mufasa loves it too!
Love the quilt! My aunt quilted and I think this one will y my first one I will make! Great quilt! Love the cat to!
