This is the look of shattered dreams...

A Kaffe kitten? That must mean...

Yes, the mother cat has come to visit from Mystic Quilter's blog.  Well, at least this cat has shown some restraint.

Or maybe not! And this is odd. Is this month Kaffe Fassett or green? Or Kaffe Fassett green? You'll have to visit the Super Scrappy Rainbow challenge to find out.

We're still working on the Ocean Waves quilt as part of Vicki W.'s HST quilt along.  I decided to finally sew together some of the HSTs although I still have 15 panels of bias cut strips to cut apart into HSTs. Zzzzzzz.

Meanwhile, lady slippers are throwing a party out in the woods.

I've been uncharacteristically productive lately although without much to show. I finished machine quilting and binding the QOV. And I made the presentation case (aka pillow case). This means I might even get the whole QOV package in the mail tomorrow if I play my cards right.

While I was making the QOV case, I decided to make a pillow case out of one of the fabrics I snow-dyed during one of our many snow falls. This was the fabric that I folded wrong...so instead of getting a circular burst, I got two half circles.

Oh my! Look at what I received in the mail today for participating in Vicki W.'s HSTeria Quilt-along and winning her weekly drawing. But I'm confused! I was expecting to receive half-square triangles! But she knows I'm also participating in the Scrappy Rainbow challenge so that must be why she sent me such a lovely package of mouse pelts and kitten fur. 

A big green mouse has joined the Scrappy Rainbow challenge.

And, of course, there is no such thing as a mouse. So the babies are always quick to follow.

And now we know where brown mice come from.

Here's my progress on the half-square triangles (HSTs). First, I found the Bias Square for cutting out the HSTs from the bias strips. I think I remember why I abandoned this project so many millions of years ago. Quite tedious. And I've already done the sewing!

Happily, the HSTs gave me motivation to finish machine quilting this QOV. Next step is the binding.
