    Well, I'm officially in....2 sets done. They aren't exactly how I envisioned, but not sure what really would have made them better. I stitched the first ones with cotton thread, then switched to that filament stuff, which looks better.

    A small sample.

    hope you like them - I do
    How cute!!!! Flower kitties (must be from the 60s) and climbing kitties (hmmmm......maybe their claws need some trimming before they travel to join the rest of the kitties at sandpat's Kitty Klub Med!!) I just love your blocks, and the mice blocks are so charming!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Thank you -- I like the one with orange eyes. They look better in person, as the black fabric doesn't photograph well. Hope they are all enjoyed..the one on the bottom left is the only one just like that!

    your right - it's so difficult to make a good photo if you photograph black fabrics - it never looks like it really is :roll:

    many thanks for comments about blocks. And yes the flower kitties made with this fabrics - I love this fabrics with the roses and other flowers and they are hard to find :-D
    I made a quilt for our bed with this fabrics two years ago. Perhaps you want have a look - here it's possible:
