I have been doing a lot of stitching. Row two of "Birdsong" is complete. Not quite all of the block made it into the photo. It is a long one. It goes the whole width of the inside of the quilt.
Next, I spent two days stitching as much as I could to make this large block for "Millennium Garden". And an afternoon prepping the applique pieces. Two more blocks to go before all the applique is done.
I started block eleven last evening but did not get far on it. I am anxious for the end now that I am getting so close.
I found a free prim style pattern on the internet here. It is called "Birds of a Feather". It has bird houses in the center and an applique border with birds, vines, leaves and berries. It looks like you can make the quilt without enlarging the pattern pieces. Or enlarge for easier stitching and a bigger wall hanging. Check it out.
Back to my stitching.

When the end is in sight, it's a good motivator to keep going. Your blocks are just fun to look at with all the different fabrics you've combined.
You are really humming along to a great finish.
Thanks for the link to the free pattern - it's really pretty. As I type this I think - I bet you're already finished with it!
Love the block with the flowers. It's gorgeous.
aack!!! you are putting me to shame!!
love the 3rd row of Bird Song and your MG block.
My MG is hanging "almost done" in DD's closet.
Really should get it all done and ready to quilt.
And no, can't believe I just admitted to that!
Thanks for another kick in the pants to get going :-)
Karen your block is beautiful. Can you email me the link for the free bom, I could not see the link on your blog.

Love both your projects and the fabrics you are choosing are wonderful. I have all the birdsong strips appliqued - just need to sew them together with the half square triangles. Glad I found that same wavy fabric for the bird wings! I'm hand quilting my millenium garden so it will take a while to finish.
Lovely projects. Your work is beautiful, as always.
Wonderfull work Karen! What a gorgeous block! Love the colours you are using! Greetz from the Netherlands!
