We got some older kittens last month too. This one, aptly named Tornado, has a fondness for fabric. And by "fondness" I mean "likes to make a mess of any fabric that I have out and growls when around fabric to make sure no one steals it from him."

Fish quilt
I quilted this fish quilt for my mother-in-law (and posted about it a month ago). She was unable to finish it off and so asked me to do it. This is just to quilt document what the final quilt looked like, since it's always nice to have a final picture.

Q1 FAL
I'm going to try the quarterly finish along this year. I feel like that's about as often as I've been posting progress updates anyway, so it might be more fun with others.
1. Baby boy quilt (HCP): Piecing is complete and it is the next one up on the quilting frame. I just oiled the sewing machine, so hopefully everything will run very smoothly! After I took the picture I realized I don't love this as much as I thought I would. I love, love, love the individual fabrics, but should have included some solids. Oh well...I'm not going to change it now.
2. E's quilt: She is almost five years old and needs a new quilt! We went to the fabric store and she had lots of fabric that she liked, but she seemed to gravitate towards brights, rainbows and flowers. Her mom wants it to be able to grow with her.
3. Meshing solid HSTs: This needs to be quilted. Densely, so the grey variations aren't so prominent.
4. Scrap bee blocks 2017: This got all put together and now needs to be quilted. I also want a scrap backing, so that needs to be pieced.
5. Temperature quilt. I need to quilt this. It's from 2017, so it's rather low on the priority list.
6. Rainbow Log Cabin. I need to decide what to do with this. I was thinking of making it reversable. If I don't want to do that, I need to just finish it up!
7. Scrap quilt. Surprise, surprise, it needs to be quilted.
8. Winter quilt. I have the fabric and an idea for the pattern. It involves triangles and a sketch is somewhere on the blog.
9. Pillow with green/purple fabric. I just want to make an easy pillow. I just need to do it.
10. Black scrap quilt. This is so close to being finished. I want to square it up before binding, and the task seems daunting.
11. Wedding quilt left over HST II. While I don't have a pattern in mind yet, finding one for HSTs will be pretty easy. I was considering adding in some pink to have a pre-made girl baby blanket.
12. Green stripes. This isn't square. I don't really know how to square it up well (or easily), so it's been sitting around for a long time.
Things that don't count for the Finish-a-long...
13. Wedding Quilt left over HST: This needs to be washed and have pictures taken!
14. Jeweled floors
15. Wedding quilt pillows
16. Quilt for Ryan
17. Trying to fit in - left over triangles
18. Fabric from Christmas

ISO a fabric name
Does anyone know anything about this fabric? Especially what it might be called?
I'd really like to get some more, but I got a fat quarter that doesn't have the salvage info on it.
update: I found it using this blog post, although with a few changes. In Chrome I can just right click the picture and choose 'google search for image' and found it fairly easily after that. It's Henry Glass: Black, White, and Scroll Vine. And it isn't in stock anywhere anymore. :( On to plan B.
