I had made a red and yellow wallhanging and a purple wallhanging also from the Easy Pieces blocks. That was before I had a digital camera, so therefore no pictures. I had leftovers of both kinds of blocks and was determined to just use them up. I sold this piece earlier this year, as a quilt top.Just in case you think I really am only feeding the squirrels, I thought you should see I have other visitors to the suet cages. I don't know what this little bird below is. He is white and gray and has a head that tapers right into his beak. They dart around really fast, almost like hummingbirds do, so this was the best picture I could get. It has been really cold here so it is fun to just look out at the creatures. I will have to go out and refill some of them soon though.
The bird in your second photo looks like a white-breasted nothatch. We have lots of them here and they are really fun to watch because they always hang upside-down like that. what is the bird in your first photo? I don't recognize that one.
You know, it really should be discouraging that your leftovers-disposal projects look so much better than my carefully-planned primary projects. But it really just kind of makes me happy. I hope that I'll be able to throw together a dazzler like that someday....
