Patchwork cats

When I posted about my last MSQ order, I showed some black and white charm squares.

I knew what I wanted to make with them, but I wasn't planning on starting that project just yet. After all, I've already got five quilts in various stages of completion. But you know me...
 At first I just sorted them out into piles with the pieces I'd need for each block. But that stack was sitting there staring at me...
So I turned some of the squares into the HSTs I'd need. And then I trimmed down the other charm squares to size...

Can you see where this is going?
A tuxedo cat block! All it needs is an applique nose and eyes... and eight other friends to play with!

    Love that block. How can you not start something new when you have that wonderful yarn?
