First Step on the Quilt

A sudden tickle buzzed straight through my paws! I blinked, pushed my front legs firmly down, and felt the soft diamond quilt sink beneath my weight. I can move! Without missing a beat, I stepped forward to sniff a bright blue fabric patch, nudging a tiny crease with my nose. The surface was warm, sturdy, and completely new. I planted all four paws with steady confidence, eager to see what else lay across these stitched squares.
