You may remember this cat from Mystic Quilter's blog post. When I saw it my heart almost stopped. Kaffe Fassett's red paper fans are a rare find and treasure.

Tommy begrudgingly decided to help me lure the cat over from New Zealand to the U.S.

And well, you may have heard the phrase "There is more than one way to skin a cat." I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but my approach yielded a half yard with the selvedges attached. How weird is that?

Oh...breaking news...Tommy says that Rowan/Westminster has reissued the red paper fans fabric and I needlessly skinned a cat. Oh dear. Apparently you can order the fabric here.  So do that instead.

And in other news...I finally finished this quilt top.
