Fan Quilt Progress and Patterns of the Day

Pretty sure I made a squealing sound when I discovered that my recently-purchased patchwork pieces from an online auction fit in perfectly with my fan quilt project. I hope to border at least the top and bottom of the quilt top with the purple 1-1/2" strips and the mystery blocks.

Here are the cutie patootie patterns that were recently listed. Bought all at one thrift, thinking they were donated by a pattern collector. The one listed above is from the 1970s, the next few are from the 1980s, all uncut.

I am fast moving into Crazy Cat Lady territory. The newest cat to hang around the property is Socks. This is a long haired gray cat with white socks. He/she peeks around the house columns in the front when it is feeding time. 

Whitey, the big white male cat, continues to make himself at home. While I adopted two, and we found one down our roadway, these last two have adopted us. Total cat count - 5. 🐈 I will have to bring someone in during the summer to care for the cats. I can't board them since most all are feral. 

Finally, the newest wrinkle in AI is the warning not to log into your bank account with facial recognition stop-using-faceid-immediately. I thought what a cool tool but then read this blog post. Best to log in another way.
