Surely you jest...cat hair catcher!?
It is a beautiful quilt.
I just struggled with the same design and I thought my fabric was much too busy, but thanks to the encouragement of the board I finished it and I love it. It is still too busy for a 4pp, but like yours it turned out well. I do have to say that yours reads better than mine and it reads well as a 4pp. Wonderful job.

I'd say your fabric fulfilled all those criteria! And the alternate light and dark sashing set it off a treat AND your FMQ is fabulous. :-D
PS What you say about the pattern 'twisting', do you mean that the repeat across the width, ie selvage to selvage, was uniform? This sometimes happens and if you want to vary the blocks up a little, you can, after cutting blocks across the strips up to the point where you reach the same repeat, take a little slice out of the stack, say 1", just to move you along the repeat slightly. This should give more variation. Just for future reference. Though what you've made here is beautiful. :-D
