I just love this block! Anything in a vase appeals to me. I dug deep into my scrap bag once again, and came out with e few oldies. The wings and feathers on the birds were a bit of a challenge, but I managed to fudge it ok. Do you just love my vase fabric? I bought this from my friend Helen Juul, a quilter and quilt shop owner in Denmark. Sometimes the fabrics that are out of stock in Australia or the USA, are sitting on shelves in Europe, and I was just lucky enough to get this one. I am 10 days early, so I now have to get back to hand quilting a quilt that is going to the Sydney quilt show in 6 weeks. Better get a wriggle on!
Wendy! your block is beautiful. I DO love the fabric you used for your vase and the birds turned out great, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I think that vase fabric is an old one designed by Anita Shackelford.

ReplyDeleteYour vase fabric looks so familiar - I think Lori is right. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYour block is beautiful and yes I love the vase fabric. Great job
ReplyDeleteYes, it is an old fabric, Anita Shackelford design. The bits I cut off around the vase will go into the scrap basket, and will appear again as leaves somewhere along the way. Wendy
