WIP Wednesday 4.16.14

Here's what happened this week:

I finished the three blocks for April for the Building Blocks QA.



I did one purple kite girl block for the RSC14.



WE GOT CHICKENS!!!  Here's a pic of the first six.  Sadly only four our left.  But the four that are left are doing great.



I finished the San Juan block for the Pat Sloan Globetrotting BOM.



I am longarming a t-shirt quilt for a customer.  She chose a fleece back for it -- ahhhh soft 'n warm!

The swirls are looking great on it -- front and back!  LOVE the versatile Circle Lord Swirls!

I am testing my Folk Art Fowl Accuquilt die by making simple hot pads for my kitchen... If I'm going to have real chickens in the kitchen for over a month, I might as well decorate with some chickens.  My live rooster is black with green tail feathers.  Cool how this one turned out.  I pieced the two fabric before running them through the die.  The rust colored hen should be like the Buff Orpington hens that I am getting in late May.  I used my 2" square die for the red/white checks.

 

I'm still frantically looking for the little block that didn't look right that was taken out of this quilt.  It's my April goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes.  Where oh where can it be?
