I finished the center block of My Tweets....my current hand applique project. it is done in wool felt and hand appliqued with 2 strands embroidery floss.
It is done on a pale green flannel background.
This center piece is 26" square. it will have a border on it with prairie points.
It will be queen size and i will keep it for my bed. this will be probably #8 or 9 that i have for my bed. they all reside in a glass fronted cabinet in the bedroom. the idea was to change the quilt on the bed every month. have i done that? .... nooo....LOL the same quilt has been on the bed about 4 or 5 months. so i either need to start changing or decide that the other quilts are simply room decorations.
I have started the first block last night but haven't gotten too far. but i have all the pieces cut out. and one large flower appliqued onto the base. but the flower has 4 layers....so can i count that as 4 pieces done?
In the original pattern the birds are the same color but i decided to make one darker purple and one lighter. my reasoning is that one is the male...and one the female. makes sense to me. i will have to get more purple felt possibly....not sure i have enough for 12 blocks. but i have discovered that i can use the freezer paper templates more than once. i used the larger pieces from this block to cut for the smaller block and they stick just fine.
Hopefully by the end of the month i can show you the first block....and not much
Later
