Both are lovely! I don't know how you are going to decide, as I certainly can't. I kept changing my mind. You just can't go wrong no matter which way you go. I even asked my cat inspectors, but both cats just weren't interested. They indicated they needed to see it "in person."

Voting for the second one. Very pretty! Love the cat.

I'd go for the second one. If I read the posts right - this isn't helping. Looks like 50/50 to me.

went to check on dd who is sleeping came back into the living room and this is what the cat decided to do.

Look at that innocent face!
I vote for #2, but it is close.
I know what you mean about the cats. The other day I was attempting to do some rotary cutting and Patches, my calico, kept jumping up on the cutting table, and flopped down on her side like a true lady of leisure...no problem until she started flicking her tail into the path of my rotary cutter! I put her down, she got back up, I put her down....finally called DH to come and get her and shut her in the office until I was finished! I was afraid I'd cut off her tail...well, they DO have Bobtail cats in wilds of PA. LOL ;-)

The first one - although both ways are lovely.

Both, but did you know there is a mountain lion lying on the first one?

they are both great. Personally I'd go with #1 tho.

Both are wonderful,just keep cutting and make two. ;-) ;-)

I vote for the first one for the reason that the green border seems to finish it. I see you also have a quilt inspector to make sure you keep busy. I have one, too, named Toby!
