I tried to lay out more of the blocks but limited floor space and the threat of furry paws with claws helping made me leave it at this.
When all the blocks are framed and I’m ready to arrange them to stitch together, I think I’ll use the bed as a design wall — with the door shut so no kitties come to help. But I think this picture gives a pretty good idea how the top will look. It will be a set of 30 blocks, 5 by 6. There will be a 2″ square at the intersection of each set of 4 blocks. That is the one element I still haven’t decided on, although I’m leaning towards finding a really bright batik to put in there. Maybe an orange or a brilliant yellow.
This is, without doubt, one of my favourite shots of Smudge. I love the look on his face!
This one of Lester just melts my heart! He is such a big lovey of a cat.

Cathi, this is just beautiful! I hear you on the furry help. LOL I use my bed as a design wall and seldom get anything done without some 'help'. Love the pictures of the kitties as usual. Winona

It will be one stunning quilt! I think your idea of yellow is very good, since purple and yellow are complementary colours and they will be placed immediately next to each other. I'm eagerly waiting to see how it goes.

So pretty, I can't wait to see the finished product!Thank you for the belated birthday wishes! Yes, Fabricland sells fat quarters now. At least at the ones I've been to they sell blenders and solids prepackaged from outside sources, and then sell fat quarters from the fabrics that they have in the store (but I don't think you can ask them to cut a fat quarter, I think you can only buy what the have pre-cut). I am not a big fan of Fabricland, but it is the closest fabric store to me.

Oh friend, I knew it. I did post a comment and it's not here. I must have done something because I remember saying what a treat it was to see this all laid out like this. I also remember commenting on what a great Smudge photo this was so oh ratcha-fratcha! my post was taken by my fast fingers I guess. Well, at least it was already in my head and didn't take much to whip out, ha?
