Wednesday finish.

Tuesday afternoon I  finished stitching the bird block and started on the tulips and hearts block. I changed up the position of the bird's wing to make him/her look like she just landed on the branch.
 I finished it Wednesday afternoon.
 I'm having fun choosing fabrics for this project.  If you look the bird appears to have an eye nicely placed.
 I think I like the horizontal orientation for the background for the tulips and hearts but will decide when all the blocks are finished.
 Hard to get a picture of the two blocks side by side due to their size but you get the picture.
 I also got a nice surprise in the mail on Tuesday.  Stacy West from Buttermilk Basin gave Anna Bates from The Woolie Mammoth blog some patterns for some giveaways and I was a lucky winner the last go around.  Thanks Stacy and Anna!   Also congratulations to Anna as a new contributor to the Daily Blog as Anna and G On the Road.  Her first post was yesterday.
Off to prep some of the border blocks from Month two.  Working backwards to catch up!

Both blocks are wonderful. Was that eye on purpose, or serendipity? I do love the tulips block and think the horizontal is the way to go, too. I looked at it sideways, and like it better this way. I love the block you won! That company designs the best things.
