After looking at the photo taken outside of the 16 blocks, I realized that there are a couple that may need to be replaced as I think they may stand out a bit too much. I want to make this a 20 or 24-block quilt anyway, and have an idea for using the blocks that may be removed.
The other thing I realized is that there’s not much blue in the first 16 blocks. So I picked out the pieces for and made this block — with a little purple for good measure. 
The back:
We have these plants in a couple of spots on the roof garden. The colour of the flowers is incredibly vibrant.

Lester in his favourite spot on the windowsill Monday afternoon:
And Smudge resting. He has recently discovered that a straw is a great toy. It’s so funny watching him — those enormous paws hitting the straw and batting it around. He gets very intense about it and will play for ages. Other than his caterpillar toy, the straw seems to be the only toy he really enjoys playing with. Lester, on the other hand, will play with just about any of the kitty toys in the basket.

Love this block. How many more before you start the quilt? Just seeing those cats makes me sneeze. I'm highly allergic. I had a bird for about 2 months and he had to go. Poor birdie.

Another very pretty block Cathi. That pic of Smudge really shows what a huge kitty he is, playing with straw looks like it took a lot out of him LOL.Crispy

Great block with the blues and purples! My cats like playing with Q-Tips on the tile floor–similar to Smudge and his straw. Such sweet kitty photos!

you have some very interesting blocks..I really like that pattern…one of these days I need to try one myself (but there are a bunch of projects ahead of that!) Looking forward to seeing the whole quilt..Is the one with the extra row of white how you join them??I tied an overhand knot in a straw for my kitties..I have one that will toss it in the air and pounce as it skitters across the floor..quite entertaining!
