Couple of things

1) I hate orange.
2) Also don't like things with cat prints.



3) OMG I wuv my orange quilt with cutesy widdle kitty cats!!!

I know, right?

The cat prints all came together in a fat quarter bundle. All the other polka dots and such were purchased separately. If I cut 9" squares, I can get four squares from each FQ (or 1/4 yard, whatever). I started cutting out squares for this one over the weekend.

The finished blocks are 7.5" and I need 48 of them to make a 45"x60" blanket. Last night I sewed together 26 blocks, so I'm halfway done after one night!!!

Here's my plan of attack:



Hack, hack.



Sew.



I think that last one is a little out of focus. Sorry.

One problem I came across is that really didn't like the light brown I was using. When I was picking coordinating fabrics I thought that the quilt needed some lighter value colors.



Bleh. It doesn't. I found some brown batik-y circle fabric that I had on hand, so I'm using that instead. Luckily, I'd only made two blocks with the light brown so I don't have that much to rip apart.
