It's time for another Friendship Quilt update.
:o)
I'm participating in Fiona's Friendship Quilt Project, and each month we create a quilt square to send to that month's designated recipient. March belonged to Beverly.

Now, Beverly and I have a few things in common. The basics are that we are both American girls, we have children close to the same age, and we both enjoy the beach and a cocktail now and then. But when it came to thinking up a design for her quilt block the answer was easy - it had to be a cat!
A beautiful white cat named Pearl lives with Beverly, and it's no secret that Beverly loves my own cat Whiskers Jay. She's always taking up for him when an Instagram indicates that he might be anything less than perfect. {Doug doesn't call him "Rotten" for nothin'...}
So I found this paper piecing pattern and created a little white cat to be part of Beverly's friendship quilt. The original pattern is a 10" square, but I reduced it down to 6-1/2" for our exchange. Don't you just love the little tail hanging off? My favorite!
And you know what's really cool? April is my month!!! I'm so excited to be on the receiving end of quilt-y happy mail this month! You can bet I'll be sharing more about that as I am able.

That is so cute! I have a square for you here, just ready and waiting to get in the mail :)
Oh, that tail is just the best bit and yes, I love this project as much as you do x I have fabrics on my ironing board all ready for your square.
I'm loving being part of it....though my patchwork skills leave a lot to be desired.
That tail is wonderful.
I love this ... and how you wrote yourself a note reminding you to add the tail!
I've been so impressed and inspired by all the quilt squares I've seen around BlogLand, I'm tempted to have a go myself.
Oh I'm so excited to start on your square Deb. The cat is adorable and the tail just makes it!
Too cute! Love the tail!
Okay, that little tail is just about the cutest thing EVER!

Your block turned out beautifully! Love it on a smaller scale too!
Great block - love the tail hanging off the edge :)
Cutest quilt block ever!
Cannot express how special it is to me and of course the 3nd photo in this post is my very favorite!!! Hey, Jay!
Can't tell you how much I enjoy looking at all the squares and how much I am hoping Fiona (or someone) will run this again and I can join in. I made a square this month to practice !!
Yes, this project has had quite a profound effect on me this year. Sometimes I have grumbled a bit at getting the machine out, but I feel so proud to know so many wonderful people who are willing to share their creativity.
