birds, bags and binding.....


This month Block Lotto is making birds. 
I love these birds.
We can make up to 9 birds for the drawing at the end of the month.
I have those, but I made more.

Then I had an idea.

 I finished some hearts that never got finished the month we made 
Low Volume hearts at block lotto. 

They were then laid out together.
The beginnings of a new quilt.
iheart birds


It could end up a wall hanging.
Or...
if I win, it will end up much bigger.
I hope, I hope!


10 Snap Happy bags. These took me several days. I would work on them, then go work on birds and then go back to bags.

Easy Street came back from the quilter. The binding is even on.


I don't have a picture of the whole thing yet. There was never a good time to take it out and hang it on the building. Today is not a good day either, it is a good day to stay inside.
The temp is cold and it feels like winter.
We had a taste of warmer weather a few days ago.
& the robins are back.

Oh, I love your bird blocks! And the birds and hearts together is too cute! You're probably not gonna win, 'cuz I'll be winning those birds. Well, once I get some made, anyway. hee hee!

Those little bags are really cute. I have that pattern and the ruler, just haven't gotten around to doing them yet. You're inspiring me!

Congrats on the Easy Street finish. It's looking good - can't wait to see the big picture.

Spring is on it's way - we had it for 2 days. It should be at your house in 3 or 4 days. ;)

Love all your projects! Do you sew all the time...try to sleep a little.

Michelle said...

Good luck! A bigger version of that quilt would look absolutely great.

If you need any more fabric for the birds, I could give you some.... but then you would have to give me the blocks if you win! :) Love the birds... they are so cute. So many good ideas here. We should put our Easy Street's together and take a picture...

Congrats on Easy Street! I can't wait to see the entire quilt, because I love the colors you used. I just posted a photo of mine---it's so satisfying to have it finished, right?
I love Sophie's bird blocks too. I am going to donate my chances this month---I hope you win!

Oh I love your birds! Hey... I made some similar birds a couple of months ago and they didn't come out half as nice and I got bored with the project... I wish I'd made more cheerful birds like yours...

Oh my...Oh my....I LOVE your birds and hearts together!! Are you going to do words "i heart birds" to go on it??????? Oh my....I need to go make some birds today for the Lotto so you don't win them!!

After viewing the 'partial' photo of your Easy Street I wish I had made one too. I love seeing how different they all look!! Love the stripped binding!!
