I finished a block this week, re-did one, and started another!
I will start with the "Done". I finished the Ostrich Pair block from the Bountiful Life Quilt. This block was fun and the only changes made were to the ostrich beaks, and those bird feet! I learned that ostiches only have three toes on each foot. That made my life easier! LOL
I had the perfect fabric for the eyes!
Now for the "Re-Done". First I want to thank everyone that commented on what I should do about that one wrinkled grape leaf in this block. Most comments said to take it off because it would always bother me, and, of course, you were right! Easier to re-do it now, rather than later.

You can see the leaf looks much better now! So happy I listened to my wise quilting friends!
Now this next block is going to be a challenge! Bird of Paradise. The block after which the original quilt top was named. Look at that tail - whew!
I already know I need to make some changes here. I have no idea what those two pieces are on the right side of the bird... wings? tail feathers?

Here is the assortment of fabrics I have pulled together for this block. We'll see how it goes! I think I will be spending part of my rainy Sunday making tail feathers!
Happy Stitching!
