I've always heard "kitty-corner", but had no idea where the expression came from. According to one website:

Interesting fact about Kitty-Corner

The term ‘kitty-corner’ has nothing to do with cats. Instead, it stems from the expression ‘cater-corner,’ which is derived from “quatre,” the French word for “four.” The term was used to describe the way the dots are placed on a dice positioned at number four, diagonally from one another.

I also learned that the expression is usually "catty-corner" in the UK.

I wonder if there is a French version of the phrase?

I am looking forward to seeing the photos of people's quilts. It is always so much fun to see what different fabrics look like in the same quilt design!
