I’ve been wanting to try this idea for some time. Every time I saw a tutorial for the swath tool, I kept thinking cat tail. Finally decided to play around with the idea. Made a trial version of the block and then tweaked the design a bit more using fabrics already in my stash. Looking forward to making this quilt.

Your cat is absolutely precious, Lucy. I’m looking forward to receiving your file so that I can make a kitty quilt like yours for my sister. Thank you for posting it!

Have fun with it! I love these challenges because we all start at the same place but end up with completely different pieces.
FYI – in the first version, there was a lot of bulk in the tail seams so I ended up basting the seams under and then hand appliqued the tail in place. May try using a fusible on the next one so that I can just cut away the SA.
