I, too, am a lover of Jacobean. Your blocks are beautiful. I am not fond of birds in the house, but yours are BIRDS!!! Just spectacular. I hope you have a secondary machine on hand to keep you busy while one of the designs is running. I know there are lot of ups and downs when you have to change thread so often.
What is the color of the background? And is the fabric a sateen? Great choices. What machine are you using? Thanks for sharing and be sure to let us see the finished quilt as I want to see what you will use on the borders.
