    Also, some of you asked about my picture with the kitty. I was fortunate enough to go into the enclosure with two cheetas and have pictures taken in South Africe this year.
    Would you please tell me the names of the quilt patterns you found for 5" charms? I have so many of these.

    You could frame them with other fabrics, or all with one fabric, and add sashing.

    How about just piecing them and then standing them on point - just by putting them on point seems to make 'boring' patches seem more attractive.

    That's a good one and I like pinwheels. Also I made triangles of many fabrics and a background and mad an Oklahoma twister. Love it.

    I am envious of your experience with the large cats. One of the items on my bucket list is to pet a large cat. I would love it to be a tiger but any large cat would do. I want to feel the strength of that feline structure.

    Charms, Don't know what to do? You could sell them to one of use who would love to make use of them! Tee-Hee.

    Thanks, mimom, for posting these photos. This pattern lends itself to so many possibilities, and it's an easy one to tackle!

    Disappearing 9-patch would work with 4 inch squares.
