Bunnies and seahorses and cats

Here are the seahorses pinned to the design wall waiting for seven right facing seahorses. I am going with this staggered layout...and currently I am thinking of a crowded ocean with no sashing. This also means touching noses and back fins.

 I also finished the first round of machine quilting on the bounding bunnies. I pin the quilt top to the batting (as if making a reversible quilt) and do an allover pattern of stitching in the ditch...in this case along the horizontal sashing. Next, I will repin to the backing and finish quilting. I discovered I really liked this process when I made the first I-spy quilt because machine quilting the top and batting is such a breeze.  Also, I can layer the quilt without any wrinkles or puckers.

Okay, so there is a major wad of mess in the right corner. I was hoping you wouldn't notice.

My house is infested.

After a while, you almost get used to it.

Meanwhile, Molly and Buddy are enjoying Smitty's antics over at Cat Patches.  Here's Buddy doing an impression of Smitty hard at work.

Here is Buddy's impression of Molly when she is working.
