So I called my daughter, Angela, and told her I had gotten out her quilt and starting to work on it. I told her my plans to make some more star blocks. To which she said, "I need that cat." Ohhh that Cat! I was hoping she had forgotten about it. (NOTE: She needs that cat. Who needs a cat - one wants a cat!)
And this coming from a girl that never requests anything. Hmmm...maybe it's important to her. "But", I explain to her, "it's a Star quilt and that block is only 6 inches square all the other ones are 12 inches." Surely that will set her straight. One can not argue with numbers - I know I work in accounting.
Angela: "I need that cat."
Okay, I guess she needs that cat.
Here's another block I have planned for her quilt.

Oh Lordy, it's another Knockout Block from Judy Martin. But I think it looks easier than the last one of did of hers. And last night I cut out all the pieces. See?
And while I was cutting and watching The Kennedy's on Netflix. (I really enjoyed the series) I also cut out the latest of Civil War blocks. It's fun to try to come up with a color combo that I haven't used yet.
My my, aren't you getting brave and ambitious? Can you enlarge the cat to 12"?
ReplyDeleteYou could put a little 6 inch cat block INSIDE a 12 variable star block--I think it would be charming.
ReplyDeleteLove the snail's trail star! that will be pretty and I like sophie's idea of putting a cat inside a star. Looking forward to seeing your CW blocks. I have 2 to make this weekend too.
