Cats and Mice Quilt Block with photo in center

m. mouse is celebrating his 15th birthday (in people years) later this year, so we are making special quilt blocks for him,

A week or so ago, we made the All Those Fish quilt block for him, and now this week we are making a block called Cats and Mice.

It turns out that there are several different blocks called Cats and Mice. This one is a little more interesting than some of the others, and it has a center square that is perfect for a picture of m. mouse.

In the video you will see how I printed the picture onto a piece of pre-treated fabric. The key to maintaining the colors in a photo that has been transferred to fabric is to make sure that it has been treated properly.

The easiest thing to do is purchase fabric that has already been treated. Another option is to pre-treat your own. If you do, there is a product called Bubble Jet which is great for that purpose.

Peaceful Piecing!
