Introducing a new quilt block that’s sure to bring a smile to your creative space: Peek-a-boo. This playful design features a sweet ginger kitty peeking out in that wonderfully familiar cat way — half hidden, fully curious, and impossible not to love.
There is something especially charming about those little moments when a cat appears from behind a corner, a curtain, or a fold of fabric, looking as though it has just discovered something very important. That playful sense of hiding and watching was the inspiration behind this block. I wanted to capture that quiet little moment of curiosity in fabric and turn it into a design full of personality.
The block combines piecing, appliqué details, and stitched accents to bring this ginger friend to life. The pale folded shapes create the perfect peek-a-boo setting, while the floral aqua background adds a cheerful, lighthearted feel. And of course, the tiny paws and sweet expression are what give the whole block its character.
This is the kind of block that can brighten so many different projects. Whether you’re planning a quilt, a pillow, a wall hanging, or another playful handmade piece, Peek-a-boo adds a touch of feline charm and a little bit of fun to your sewing table.
You’ll find the pattern available in my Etsy shop, MyPieceFullJourney.

It always makes me happy to see how these little fabric characters come to life in your hands, and I’d love to see where this curious ginger kitty finds a place in your projects.
Behave yourself quilty!
With love,
Olesya
