Orphan Blocks Become A Quilt

 Do you have leftover blocks from a quilt--and wonder why did I make extra blocks?  What in the world am I going to do with all these?

Let's build a quilt top with those orphans.

One of my quilter friends had seven cat blocks that were extra
and didn't know what to do with them--I said I like building orphans into
quilt tops--so here I am, several months later working on these
interesting blocks.
First off, I placed the cat blocks where I think they should rest
on the top--then I add other blocks to fill in the spaces.

Cat block at the top looks out of place so it was removed for
later placement--let's continue to build our top..
I keep moving those cat blocks around--didn't really want them stacked on top of each other,
but it just might be the only way to get this top together--
I've rearranged these cats so many times!  I think I like this setting so far--
let's see how it works out next time I'm in the sewing studio!
Finished!  I had some kitty fabrics left overs so used those strips for the borders.
I hope this will be loved by a little tyke who loves kitties. 

I'm now working on another orphan block quilt with this beginning layout
Don't usually like to work with blocks on point but this looks awesome so far!
