As requested here are pix of the grandmother's fan kitty wall hanging and the porcelain cat wall hanging.
My DH went shopping with me to many stores to find antique buttons for the fan kitties' eyes. That was fun!
DH also gave me the poppies -- cheap at Ikea. They are sticky backed so they stick to the door.
The other quilts are most 1930s and earlier. I purchased a couple of them on ebay some time ago. The red/brown/white one and one other were made by my former mother-in-law's mother-in-law in Oklahoma probably in the 1930s also.

Great little "cave". Fabric looks so organized. I keep mine in bins, just thrown in there & when I am looking, I just digt in. I'm a cat lover & noticed the little quilt with 4 cats made out of fans. Did U use a pattern? If so, please share.
