Default Splendid - #10, 14 and 17 Getting tougher!

The first one, #10 Iowa was relatively straight forward, the other two - not so much!

The second one, #14 Flying High with one gull is my interpretation using one silhouette instead of 3 small ones!! I wasn't even going to do it then remembered what a big part seagulls played in my childhood. Even so, one wing is a bit too small but I'll accept it! I may add some brush strokes to the tips of the wings, etc.

And #17, Family Stars is a pattern I really liked but with FGs that small ...? Made some of them 3 times but I'm happy with the result! Just keeping the colors in order and reversed for paper piecing was a lot of my trouble!

Thanks for looking!

I see someone that has done a wonderful job on all of them, and I would keep the seagull just as it is,
because it looks great. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

The wing isn't too small. The further the distance the smaller an object should appear. It is just right. Beautiful blocks.

You did a fine job on all three. I think the gull wings are good. The first is my favorite. Thanks for sharing them with us. Mary

Kitsie, your blocks look great... I am behind because I don't get any sewing time during the summer months but I have been diligent about printing each of them for my binder. Yes, some of the blocks are more challenging than others.
