Nine joyful crooked blocks.
Pretty sure the quilt will need to be 7 block by 7 blocks to be six feet by six feet.
Other measurements...
A little more research on the length of cats: the average length for the body of a cat is 15-20 inches and the length of the tail 9 inches for females and 11-12 for males.
Tried to measure Gibson again. He is a wiggly 23 for the body and 14 for the tail this time.
Timber has a 22 inch body and I didn't even try to get his tail.
Widget is a "get that gosh darn tape measure away from me" long.
The longest cat recorded was over over 4 feet!
I sure hope that included his 16 inch tail...
