The fourth block done. I love the splashes of colour the little squares add to these blocks.
The first 4 blocks side by side. Only the top two are actually joined at this point.
There’s more white music notes on black fabric on its way but, until it gets here, I may have to make a few different blocks using these shapes. Fussy cutting the octagons makes a really interesting block! I saw these on Sunday and am very tempted. I had a finish on the weekend — pictures later this week — so have an opening in the rotation for something and some fussy cut octagons seem like a great idea.
Sunday night as I was stitching that fourth block, I had Smudge on my lap and Lester glued to my side with his head on my knee. That’s almost 40 pounds of very furry, warm kitty all at once. They don’t often do that, so no matter what I wasn’t going to move and upset that.

A photo of Smudge awake!
One of the few pictures of Lester shortly after his ruff had been brushed and before he managed to start chewing on it and turn it into a mess again.
