This is the tumbler stars block I wrote about on Tuesday. The star points are done in a different Kaffe fabric, and they really don’t show up all that well. That said, there’s something about this block in these fabrics that really intrigues me. It seems to remind me of something, but I can’t quite think what that something is.
My hands have been, once again, very sore. Too sore to even contemplate cutting out the shapes for the Dresden Plate I printed last night. I’m hoping that by this evening I can get that done.
Here the boys are practicing being close together, getting ready for the two-kitty bobsled competition. If you click on the picture to embiggen it, you can see a bit of Lester’s fur right beside Smudge’s paw. Smudge was not impressed when Lester decided to join him, and tried to show his displeasure by yanking out a bit of Lester’s fur. 
Their paws fascinate me. First a close-up of one of Lester’s:
And then Smudge’s:

Wow! That's very bright. I like it!Every once in a while we find a few tufts of black or white fur around – usually when Dufus and Gandie decide to have a face-off. It's usually nothing more than a bit of posturing, but boy do they leave a lot of fur behind!

Fun block, fun fabrics. Dang the pain my friend. Hate that when it happens. Plus I know rest is a challenge. Digging deeper, I know. Hey listen, I love the photo of Lester – that really "pops." And yes, I love the MSKP's. I really thought that photo of the Smudge Kitty Paw was so silly and cute. Very "striking a pose" like. hee!

The block looks beautiful! The kitties just look so regal in the chair. It looks as if they are posing for a very important photo. Too funny about the fur in the paw.
