I added borders to make the block larger, and of course being math-compromised () I ended up with it too big--it's about 14" square. I will deal with that later, can always trim it down.
Without further ado, my kitty cat block.

The background is a light pink print, which doesn't show up great in the picture.

It's so nice to hear that you are doing so well with paper pieceing. I am so anxious to see your Snow Blossom block next. Love the fabric's you chose to put together, the hearts are so pretty. Thank you for joining & sharing with us today.

I just looked at your Snow Blossom block & it looks wonderful to me. Don't be so hard on yourself, because your work is great!! I love both of your blocks & they are going to look so nice in a quilt, at the end of the year. Keep up the good work!!

By all means, use my idea!
I wanted my cat to 'pop', that's why I only did one.

I am really enjoying everyone's blocks. Amazing how different they all are!
I like the design of having the heart in the center of the cat. Had to contemplate what I wanted to do with this block since my hubby and I will be celebrating our 40th anniversary this month. This is what I came up with and hubby likes it too!
