Basket Case revisited

I posted about the Basket Case quilt a few weeks ago – I just wanted to share a couple more photos. Buttercup is doing the Vanna honors.

Cats do the darndest things, part 87

Buttercup is my “personality” cat. The other two definitely have personalities, but Boo-cup has oodles to spare.
