Back to Little Brown Bird

in Little Brown Bird, Red & Green Traditional Applique

Well I am not back to it for long – but when I was preparing the quilt block yesterday going through things I remembered I had started a block for the Little Brown Bird quilt when we had traveled to Paducah back in April and never finished it.  I have still not decided for sure if I am going to make this quilt but I only had the flowers and embroidery left to put on the block so I thought I would finish it before prepping another block red/green block.

Here is what I did today:

Little Brown Bird block #2 with the flowes and embroidery now added. (8 1/2 inch blocks)

And this is the first block for that quilt that I made last winter:

Little Brown Bird block #1

I hate leaving things unfinished so now that I am done with these two blocks for sure they can go back in their project box with the book until I decide what I am going to do about it.  If I ever decide to make this quilt I will be changing it a lot because where I do like most of the quilt I do not like every single block and I think the border is too fussy.

The next block that I am preparing for the Red and Green Applique quilt is called Asymmetrical Rose block#8.  An interesting block because is doesn’t look anything like a rose to me!
