Purple Whatsit Done!

Purple Gallinule. Can not remember the name but it’s done all the same. 

I would have rather read a book tonight (it’s cold and damp, with rain supposed to start around midnight) but I powered through and look how cute this guy is!

Broke out the specialty pins to make sure things lined up correctly.

I love seeing the backside of projects - this one’s a big, colorful, organized mess. 

I’m leaving the papers in until everything is done. It’ll be a chore pulling them out but hopefully will make it easier to sew the blocks together. And it protects the unfinished edges from fraying and stretching. 

The Northern Flicker is up next, then the Roseate Spoonbill- the biggest block of all which is a bit intimidating. 

We still have a few months to go before finishing up in June. Should give me time to get this quilted and.. maybe enter it in the Guild’s quilt show in September? It would be a first for me…
