My 6th LBB (Little Brown Bird) block is done
 

This block (actually block #7 in the book) is my 6th finish. The Little Brown Bird quilt is a book by Margaret Docherty. It's out of print but you can still find it on eBay.

I used some inktense pencils to shade the yellow flower a little on this one. I was afraid it wouldn't show up being that it was kinda close in color to the background. This one had maybe 1/2 the little pieces in it but it was still a challenge. I've not had a lot of stitching time lately but I'm hoping I can keep up with my schedule of getting at least 2 blocks done a month. The holiday season coming up may slow me down some but I am still excited to work on it. At least I haven't gotten to the middle of the project doldrums yet.

If you want to see the other blocks that I've finished just click on my name above my picture, select view profile and scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left you'll find my albums..... LBB is where you'll find the others.

And, I invite you to join me in this journey. I hope there will be others working on this quilt. I like chatting back and forth about it.

Gorgeous and good call on using the ink tense on the yellow flower because I can see the lighter portion does really blend in with your background block. What a spectacular masterpiece this will be when you complete it. Thank you for including us in on your journey.

beautifully done

You are doing a wonderful job. I have appliquéd for years but LBB gives me pause for thought.

The block is beautiful, they all have been, and I really love the vase fabric.

I have been following you since the beginning, and am so glad you are posting pics. Your work is just beautiful, this quilt will be a masterpiece.

This might just be my favorite appliqué quilt ever! Each block you show us is more amazing then the one before!

Your work is absolutely beautiful! I took a peak at your other squares. What a quilt that is going to be!

Great work!...I have to credit you for being the reason I bought the book this week from Amazon. Not sure exactly when I will get to it but I intend to this one soon!

This is going to make an awesome quilt.

So very pretty!

Oh, I'm so excited that you've decided to join me in the making of this quilt. It does help me keep going to have someone else working on what I'm working on. Please let me know when you get started...... I'm jumping up with joy right now even though you can't see it.

Another beautiful block. You will really have a treasure when they are all done and put together. Please share when that is done.

WOW your work is exceptional!! That is just beautiful!

Truly beautiful.....this is going to be a stunning quilt...so much detail. I just looked at all the others you've done....the one with the little robins stole my heart! Look forward to the next block...happy stitching.

I love the flowers with the vase. You did a great job!

Each block is more beautiful than the last. You are really moving along with the blocks. I love following along even though I'm not working on the quilt---yet. Have you finished your move yet?

That is just Stunning.

Jean ... I have been following your LBB blocks since you started. I am totally awed by their beauty. The blocks are gorgeous and your hand work is superb! I look forward to seeing more come along, and of course the finished product.

Thank you so much for sharing these beauties with us!!

We're sort of finished with the move. I still have things to unload and unpack but we're here and I'll get to it all.

Thanks Sue. I'd love for you to join me on this one. It's going to take a long time to get it all done but I just keep working on it a little every day.

These blocks have all been so beautiful that I can hardly wait to see it all put together.
