Oh, my to be so brave and talented. The finished quilt is lovely but the Little Brown Bird will be a work of art.

Ok I'm intrigued. Is the pattern in the book The Little Brown Hen? Looks like it would be fun.

I bought the book several years ago but like the others already have too many projects going and I think it is beyond my skill level at this point. But someday-----

I have given myself a schedule but you know "how the best laid plans of mice and men" goes off the boil sometimes.

Anyone want to join me. Its a long project but so worth it. It will take around 2 1/2 years, so not for the faint hearted. I did the Dear Jane on this board a long time ago and that was a super way to keep everyone going.

2nd quilt is just finished called vintage Tiles Revisted by Dorothy Baker. Its not yet quilted, but have just ordered a new machine so hope its going to be a great help in doing this.

Enjoy, any questions feel free to ask please.

That is just beautiful but I know I couldn't do it that nice, it is out of my league but I do just love it, Congrats on it.

I've done only one block on point and am going to do triangles to make it square for a wallhanging over my bed. I am wondering how you made those tiny balls. They appear to be larger than French knots.

Your applique is beautiful, fabric selections great. Congratulations on this endeavor to make blocks over a two-year period. We all will be watching as you go. Please keep us posted.
