Show and tell"[ATTACH=CONFIG]550176[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]550177[/ATTACH]Ms. Kitty Taft is stepping along on her 'green' carpet to receive her granny award from her part in the international Cat Movie adults and children loved. Mrs. Thomas was done in two colors; on the green side, I reversed the yellow, so it looks like a light brown fabric. Unique blocks as I love doing them different, yet following the book samples somewhat...:)

Yes, Honchey I have following your production of more blocks. Love how precise you are on your blocks.:o

Hi Nina, If I wasn't awake your blocks certainly did the job..I love the contrast & bright colors. Oh, and I just saw the little cat in the center. I'm going to Mrs Taft block sometime today and I'll be keeping the block separated because eventually I'll be setting them on point .

Beautiful blocks, ladies! I LOVE the scotties fabric. Also the kitty fussy cut center, Nina Sue.

That Mrs. Taft was a killer! She has over 50 seams.

Those are all such gorgeous blocks. :) Mine are not ready yet.

Jan, Your batiks are so pretty. I can't wait to see them altogether. Sewbizgirl, yours look most like the ones in the book. I didn't have a green to go in Mrs. Taft, and I didn't have enough of that red to put in Mrs. Thomas, that is why I used the solid black, but I still like them.

I love your black and red scottie block! I have some of that scottie fabric, but only a 5" charm square....
