The pieces I showed yesterday made what I’m calling Chateau Wall.
I’m calling it that because I made it with French General fabrics. But it’s really a variation of the 9″ Castle Wall block with one of the bonus shapes in that Inklingo collection.
It was easy to press. And this one is definitely going to be the centre of a small medallion quilt. Maybe even the centre of a large mug rug.
Now that I’ve made Castle Wall blocks that are 4.5″, 6″ and 9″ and most of the variations, I think, but am not sure, that this one is my favourite. It’s fun to make and, had I done some no-waste fussy cutting, I could have easily had a kaleidoscope effect in the octagon centre.
“Chateau.”
The cold weather continues. This is so unusual for us. We’re spoiled living in Southern Ontario as we don’t usually have such a long stretch of cold, cold temperatures. But the kitties know what to do. They sleep the cold days and nights away.
Jake was stretched out on the loveseat.
While Baxter was snoozing atop the kitty tree.
Quilt Obsession 
Cathi, this is the prettiest one yet, love those fabrics. Those kitties look so sweet and cuddly. Mr. Q.O. is cracking me up, all the detail even down to the little mustaches.
Thanks for brightening my very cold day. Next week it’s supposed to be in the 40’s and 50’s here, I bet you get some of the warmth too. I am so looking forward to next weeks weather.

I love this version also. Good thing I don’t have to decide which to use. It would be tough. Beautiful colors.

Beautfiul! I love the French General fabrics. The quilts you usually see made out of them never seem to take full advantage of their beauty, though. Really looking forward to more of these . . .

This is my favorite one you have done! Mine are prepped and ready for the trip to Africa ~ now I wish I had done them in reds instead of pinks and brown 😦

Hi Cathie, love ths variation and it goes well with the fabrics. Cats always know where and when to stay warm. Just more rain here in the UK.

That’s a very pretty block! While you are freezing, we are having a very hot very dry summer – pretty much the whole state is in drought, although thankfully it’s raining lightly here right now. Those toons are so funny!

It’s a pretty block.
While I like your castle and sunflower blocks, I can’t help feeling that your orange and white quilt is being neglected 🙂

Chateau Wall is beautiful. I just ordered Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses. I don’t know when I’ll get started – I have a GFG in progress. It is beautiful and you work in impeccable. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wish I could write this with a French accent. But, non, my cherie. Oh well, my French accent always sounds Swedish anyway.
The Chateau Wall looks wonderful!
