Disappearing 9 Patch

"disappearing 9 patch" baby quilt in progress

I'm in the process of making a disappearing 9 patch baby quilt for my friend's little niece or nephew - another mystery baby. The room will be light blue, but my friend really loved the frogs and snails from Heather Ross' Far Far Away fabric, so I found a bunch of fabrics that would incorporate the blue, but also the yellow and green from the frog fabric.

Everything was going very quickly and I started laying out the squares on the futon so I could see what fabrics I had already used. Then the cats (Franny & Zooey, by the way) came in to keep me company. That's fine. They were behaving and staying away from the squares.

Of course, not for long.

Zooey destroys the layout

After I put the futon down to layout the squares, I left the room. Big mistake! I come back to this scene and you can tell that Zooey kind of took a running start and slid his little paws under the squares. But he is cute, so I can't stay mad for long.
