169: of quilts and cuteness

I was changing the sheets on the bed the other day and look who showed up:

When he hears sheets being shaken out of a folded bundle he comes running. He must romp.

Do all cats do this? Well, I guess not, because Mercury doesn't. Do your cats do it?

It's not just cats who must get in on the bed-making:

Oh, Zeus. How can I resist your cuteness?

No, this is not an adorable-animal-photos blog, but when it happens, you gotta go with it.

He was looking so photogenic, and the bed was actually made, so I took the opportunity to get some shots to show you that quilt I made a while back.
Ok, fine, it's patchwork.

If you're wondering why the wall behind the bed is so boring, it's because this is a temporary bedroom, still in need of skimming, painting etc.

This is taken from the head of the bed:

You can see some of the back on the folded over part.  I didn't go to the trouble of washing of the dog and cat fur before showing you. I thought about it, does that count? I mean, at least the bed is made, right?

I do really want to make an actual quilt. You know, one that's quilted. Maybe I'll do a throw.

I have been cutting more fabric into strips so that when I am ready to sew I can just jump right in.

Hey, first strikeoffs should be coming in about 3 weeks!
I can't freaking wait.

One of my three cats does this, too. He likes to be made right into the bed. Drives me crazy most times but every once in a while I just think it's hilarious.

Oh god. When did I last change he sheets? Oh, dear.

I don't have pets but my kids do the same damn thing! Love the sheets in the first shot, new or thrifted?

... it doesn't matter where the cat is in the house, if a bed is being made - he's there. Our other cat did the same thing - OMG I can't imagine the puppies... i think i'll wait awhile before seeing if they do it too!!! :)

Cute quilt - fun colours. Counting down with you! It must be so very exciting.

My cat does that too, every time. Beautiful bedding, patchwork and friends.

I love it that cats do this! It's so cute.

Thanks for the quilt love.

Tracey: even better the sheets were new but cheap: Building 19- ten bucks for the set!

One of my cats is on the bed most of the time. It's his spot. But he loves it when I change the sheets. Sometimes the other one gets in on the action too. Usually I find it annoying. Because making beds is hard enough without trying to get cats out from under the sheets.

I love your word blocks!!! You had me looking for some of my own when I went thrifting this weekend, instead I ended up with a potty chair for the 50's. What do I need with a potty chair from the 50's??? LOL

I bet you are excited about getting your strike offs! Best wishes on that ;)
