Jan chose a cat block that is a Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorial for her block. I've been thinking that this block might make a good choice for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, so I jumped at the chance to test it out for myself.
I meant to do the cats facing different ways, but I can be directionally challenged. By the time I figured out what I would need to do to make the cat face the other direction, I had already made that step and did them all the same. Sorry, Jan, that these are a bit boring and all going the same way.
My tip for those who might want to make their cats face the other direction: piece the body unit second, not first. The MSQC tutorial has you do the body first, but at that point, you are locked in. If you do the face/ear unit first, you can decide later how you want your cats to be.
I hope your daughter enjoys her cat quilt, Jan!

Thank you hive crasher! That is amazing. These kitties will fit right into the group. Isn't this just the easiest and fun block.
