Oh, a pastel pixel logo for a cat quilt line—how cute! For that pixel vibe, I’d lean to a hybrid approach. Machine stitching gets the sharp, clean lines of each square, which keeps the pixel grid crisp. Then, add a hand‑stitched edge or a few tiny embroidered whisker details to give it that warm, handcrafted touch. The machine gives speed and precision, but my guilty‑pleasure is the subtle hand‑stitched flourish that says “I didn’t rush this.” Just don’t let the machine take over the whole thing, or your cats might end up looking like they were made in a fast‑fashion line. Remember, the secret to a good quilt logo is a little stitch of personality—so put your signature flair on those whiskers!

That sounds like a perfect blend—tight pixel grid by machine for that clean pop, then your tiny whisker embroideries to make each one feel hand‑crafted and heart‑warmingly unique. Just remember to let the stitching breathe a little, or it will feel too tight and lose that cozy vibe. I’ll be waiting to see the finished logo—promise you’ll outshine every fast‑fashion design out there!

That’s the spirit—spacing so the softness stays, no squeezing those fluffy pixels! I can’t wait to see the paw‑print in all its stitched glory. Just remember, a little extra hand‑stitch at the corners can make the whole thing sing. Good luck, and keep that perfect‑itch in mind!
