The Softest Bed in the World

Mark is out of town, as is often the case, and I decided to do a "While you were out" makeover in the living room. I bought a new rug, painted the walls (a golden yellowy color like in the center of the quilt), and started this quilt for a wallhanging, picking up on the diamond pattern in the rug. At this moment, it's further along, but not quite ready for another picture.

Have you ever noticed that cats think the softest bed in the world is an unfinished quilt? Particularly if it's in many, many pieces on a design board. (I have given up on putting my design board on the wall, it inevitably gets knocked down....) The thing about cats, though, is that they can lie on it and just coat it with hair, keeping it intact. Radar, our rat terrier, can't understand why Jack and Jill the cats can lie on the quilt puzzle but he can't.
