Cats on Walls

I worked on the Ohio Star kitty blocks; seaming them into a top 
and then took the leftover triangles and sewed them into half square triangles.  
My thought was to use them for a border.
  When I put them up on the design wall-my eyes jumped around like crazy! 
 To me, it is just too busy!
Time for plan B--and this one is calm and the kitty blocks hold the attention which is as it should be!

I will use the hst's for another quilt-perhaps as windmill blocks!

And for my art of the day, I did a lot of drawing!  
This one is from a picture in the newest KnitPicks catalog (p35, I think!)
 and I thought I would give it a try in my journal! 
 It was fun every step of the way! 
 Back to guessing blog paintings tomorrow!

  5. That snoozing kitten is adorable. I like both border options, but agree the one you chose highlights the blocks better.

  6. I usually enjoy the busy borders and "eye-jumping", but you're right as usual. The second is much better.
    That drawing is perfectly adorable and I recognized it right away.

  8. I am catching up backwards, so I’ve already seen the busy border turned into pinwheels instead — I agree! Good decision!
