Other than that, it's a very cute quilt and I cannot wait to see it finished.

Hey, not to change the subject completely....but..I keep looking at that cat and can't figure out if he's had a complete haircut, minus the neck and under-chin area, or if he's some breed I've never heard about that has a "lion's mane". I love cats of all kinds, though I only have 3 now. But yours is a stumper. Ruth
