Thanks beachlady! When the cats were kittens, they used to be able to jump from the floor to the top of the door, using the handle halfway up to boost themselves up. Now they are all grown up and a little more, ahem, rotund, they have to jump from the nearby radiator, which comes halfway up next to the door. They do sometimes misjudge the distance and all I hear is ...scrabble, scrabble, scrabble....THUD as they fall off!

I love your blocks - and your quilting is gorgeous.

Your kitties remind me of cats I had years ago - now departed - a black called Lovejoy and a red tabby (didn't like to be called ginger!) called Gooey. The rescue centre they came from said they were brothers but they were complete opposites - Lovejoy skinny and talkative (like a siamese) and Gooey fat and lazy! But I heard that the same litter can have different fathers so maybe that explains the difference between them!

I would say you have very good control over that quilting. I am so jerky when I try doing it off the frame
