I changed out my cow for one I found in a magazine. I just have to pull the muzzle back off. I'm going to line it so the black and polka dots don't show through. I wondered when I fused it down if it was going to work. Not a problem. An easy fix. A farm has to have a cow, right. I think I forgot about a cow this morning. Glad it hit my brain. My initial background and cow pattern that I tried this morning didn't work out. I was trying to adapt a pattern but just couldn't solidify the measurements for it in my head or in the demo 
. So, I'm making this cow instead.
And, here is a sample of the sashing and cornerstones I'm going to use. I wanted to bring bees in some how. So, the cornerstones are a cute glittery bright yellow with small bees. I love how the sashing color looks. I did wonder if it would work when I bought the blue for the sashing. I am happy to say, no waste. I love it.

Mousie, it's a great idea to add an apple tree. I just might do that. He does look awful excited, doesn't he. I love when embellishments spill out into the sashing. And a tree is perfect for that.

Ms. Cluckers is all ready for her debut. I really enjoyed making this one. It was so much fun. The only thing not permanent is the eye. I don't know if I'll use the button or embroider her eye to make it look like she is sleeping. (Like the pattern.) Either way, this one was a joy to put together.

Thank you NZ. Originally, my hen was supposed to be yellow. But, this red just spoke to me. I initially wasn't sure it would work. But, I love how it finished up. I enjoyed making this block very much.

This is the block I'm working on right now. I want to try to incorporate the sunflower block also. But, like Teen, I want to reduce the size of the sunflowers so they look right to scale for the background. I've just laid on or pinned all the elements in place right now.
