I’m happy to say that I have completed my final Colourpoint Cat for the monthly Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The nominated colour for the month was yellow, but I didn't really want a yellow cat. Instead I chose a cream, tan and light blue pattered batik, so she looks a bit like a tortoiseshell cat.
My final cat block
And for once I managed to lay all the blocks on the floor and take a photo without our nosy cat Gemma deciding to check them out. She was away snoozing somewhere so she didn’t know what I was getting up to.
Nine Colourpoint Cats
This project will be a wall hanging so I’m stopping at nine blocks. The next step will be to decide if I need to add sashing and a border and stitch the blocks together and then get it quilted. I've decided to get it commercially quilted as I rather fancy some custom quilting on this one. When completed it will take it’s turn hanging over the sofa in the sitting room.

What a lovely collection of colourpoint cats...nice job on these--I especially like this month's color combo hugs, Julierose
I love your cat quilt!! this will be so nice when you have it done - are you putting sashing in between blocks?
The cats look fantastic and I’m not sure about smashing between them .. would be hard to chose a colour....
What a delightful wall hanging that will be! The tortoiseshell cat is the perfect finish. How funny that Gemma missed the “unveiling”! Stay well!
Your cars are just wonderful, Jenny! I've enjoyed seeing each new one as he (or she?!) came along. Have fun finishing up your wall-hanging!
What a wonderful array of blocks and lovely felines! They are going to make a beautiful, eye-catching wall hanging.
I made the whole quilt for our youngest daughter's college graduation 10 years ago. I quilted thought bubbles if cheese and mice or speech bubbles if purr and meow. I quilted unrolling balls if yarn in the sashing. I just replaced the binding for her last week.
I hope you enjoyed the challenge if it.
Jenny your quilt is going to be marvelous hanging in your sitting room. You are so talented, this doesn't look like a very easy block. I'm sure that I would make a mess of it, but you do amazing work. Sew Pretty!
Seeing them together certainly shows off their diversity. Am excited to see your setting too. When it's on the wall it'll be a show stopper.
I LOVE those cats... I put the cutest cat video on my I LIke post yesterday, I've watched it about 5 times now... this is such a fun quilt Jenny!
