I started out with the idea that I would make one section the PP cat and another section with a PP face of a cat. I couldn't find a paper piecing pattern of a cat's face, but I did find one of a dog's face. I spent a couples changing the pattern which was a first for me. After all that work, I felt the face had too much of a harshness with the lines in the face and overall just didn't pick up the softness of the cat block. I'm planning on using the face block elsewhere in the quilt.

vintagemotif, your doggie is cute. I love the marbled look of your batiks-those are some of my favorite colors.
I have finished half of my block which is made up of two kitties and I'm trying to figure out my other 6".

Eeks! I should have proof read my post. I was trying to say that I found a dog face paper piecing pattern that I tried to modify into a cat face and fit into the size of the 6" block. I was able to work with the lower half of the pattern, the heart shape, but the eyes and top of head I had to modify. I think the face I made looks more like a bear, oh well.
I gave up trying to think of what to do with the rest of the block after all that work (took me a couple of days), and just went with this, which I'm very pleased with!
I like the batiks too. I would like to use this fabric in some of the other blocks- will see if that works.
