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.

    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 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!
