The black sashing will finish it perfectly. Great job.

Is that pattern by Janet Kime? I think I have a book with a similar pattern. Is it difficult to do?

Yes, it is by Janet Kime, in her book The Cat's Meow. To be honest, I found it challenging. The ears kept defeating me, plus I have a lot of trouble sewing black on black. The instruction to cut 578 1 1/2 inch squares of background fabric should have given me a clue that it might be challenging. I was looking for something different that a Bargello, which I am really currently stuck on, and this was certainly different.

It's impressive that youhung with this, even though it had it's difficult parts. Nice!

Thanks, switching the pink and purple in that bottom row makes sense. I will do that.

Wow, I love it. I'll have to look for that book. I have a relative who is dating a cat lover and should their relationship progress, that would be purrrr-fect. Sorry, couldn't resist.
