My bee mate, Felicity @felicityquilts, chose "Folk Art Cats" as her Bee Sewcial @beesewcial prompt for May, and here's my first block. The cats are supposed to be primarily black or grey, with a scrappy background in bright, cheerful colors. This kitty block measures 12" x 18". I chose to leave it long in case Felicity wants to trim later.
My second kitty measures 10" x 16". He's inspired by a folk art cat picture I saw, though I'm not really sure he looks like it, but I tried! His eyes got a little out of control, but so goes improv sometimes.
For both blocks, I planned the kitties out first, then focused on the background. Not the most intuitive improv I've done, but hopefully they both fit in well with the rest of the clowder.
