I use to make quilts every summer, then I got cats. My first two cats, Tigre and Dulce, learned to help by just laying quietly as I work on the floor putting all pieces together. It was my third cat, Tesuque, whose help was rushing and sliding into all the pieces and causing general havoc. I guess part of it was my fault. I loved him so much that I didn't stop his antics as I had with Tigre and Dulce.

All three cats and the quilts are only memories now, but my love of quilts is still with me. I was looking through Flickr at "cats on quilts," and most of the photos were of cats plopped down quilts in progress. Here are some photos of cats helping their humans make quilts.
