30 blocks........

Thirty blocks are done.  I had to build this sideways on the design wall so this is the first time I have seen in vertical when I rotated the photo.  I have to take the blocks off the wall by tonight so I have to make the decision soon if it is ready to sew together.
I glanced out the kitchen window as I was walking through the room and saw a spot of red.  My first reaction is that it is probably the cardinal and then I took a better look.  He is helping to clean up under the feeder.

The layout looks good to me from the picture. My Mom saw Nuthatches the other day, but I haven't seen any. Chris

The quilt looks great. I have woodpeckers in my feeder all the time. I also have many nuthatchers and of course chickadees. That is only a few of them. I have an Illinois bird book and have marked the many pages of the birds that I have had in my feeder. Enjoy your day and watch out for the storms we may get this afternoon.

Love the layout, and the red bellied woodpecker is beautiful. Looks like is fattening up for winter. :^)

I love the three-dimensional look of this layout.

it looks ready to me. the only possible change I see is taking the two brightest that are dead center and swapping the top one with the one next to it so the are only joined by a corner rather than a side.
My choice would be swap the bottom one with the one to its left (in the picture)

I haven't seen any woodpeckers near our house in awhile, they always show up at the feeders eventually though.
love the blocks just the way they are.

I am feeling an urge to make some of these blocks. I am trying to resist. I have too many other things to do!

Stunning! I love the overlapped effect this layout has. Thanks to you I have started thinking of B&W polka dots as a key part of my stash.

I think you have your colors and shades distributed pretty good. I'm quite impressed you 'built' it sideways!!

I like this quilt more every time you show it! Just beautiful. And you never know what is going to show up at the feeders, do you?

I Love Love Love this so much! I’ve been obsessed with it for two years. Life has finally settled down enough that I can tackle one as my winter project-quilting fills the time till kayak season starts again.
To me it looks like little windows into space so I’m going to push that visual and include an appliquéd tartigrade.
I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration!
