Stars and Strips

Stars for the Scrappy Cats Quilt and Strips for more plus blocks!

Yay! ... some progress on the Scrappy Cats Quilt that I began in January and has since become a UFO.  Funny how quick a UFO happens!  I made the stars and ironed all 20 of them on.  Now for some machine applique (which isn't my favorite).

Here is the original post with pattern link.  This will be my challenge for The Crafty Quilter's Good bye UFO's, to complete for April.

  I've also made some progress on my little 5 inch plus blocks.

I've cut strips for at least 25 more blocks and I have 35 so far!  It'll take a couple hundred for a good sized quilt, so we'll see how far it goes.  Or it could be a baby quilt and be done much sooner!

Of course for photographing, a chubby calico has claimed the blocks for her own nap spot!
