Block 18 of the Civil War Bride quilt stitched in a timely manner, but how is it possible for three weeks to pass by before I find five minutes to French knot the eyes? Anyway, the girls are finished and looking rather lovely. Another block with tiny toes, but a challenge I quite enjoyed.
Until next time.....happy quilting!

those toes look very fiddly.

Absolutely beautiful block and beautiful work! Carol
Beautiful! Yes those toes would have me running away.
I love the bird's "petticoats!" If I'm required to do a french knot then this block is NOT for me! I can't seem to get the hang of them and believe me I've tried, I used to take them to my Mom for her to do but since she passed I have to find alternative. Anyway, enough of my troubles. It's a beautiful block, someday I'd like to see one of these in person. I think the workmanship is outstanding.
I don't know how you do it, but those toes!! What else needs to be said, your work is amazing.
Your block is beautiful Karen! Love the pink underskirts!As for those toes - perfect!
Yes Karen your girls do look lovely, I would say they look absolutely gorgeous. I love that pink fabric, looks so fluffy. Have you chosen your next one?????

Gorgeous block, love the colours. I enjoy your blog.
Very nice work.
Beautiful!! I love your fabric choices!!
Beautiful block! I know now that I took a second look at it that there not turkeys been from the USA too much on my mind about turkey day.
Your ostriches look lovely! I like your fabric choices. I have been debating weither or not to include this block in my CWB quilt and have not decided yet. I see yours and think I should make it and then decide.
Really cool block. It's so interesting that such an unusual bird would show up in quilt blocks. Being a recycling/upcycling fan, I really liked your saved table as well.
best, nadia
The pink fabric used on the birds body is a very good choice. Makes the birds stand out.
W*O*W this is a stunning block. You did a marvellous job there. Especially considering the tiny toes!
You have a great job on these birds!! Love the look of the little heart on the beak!! Have a great weekend, hugs, Daniëlle
Very funny block! And very nicely made.
Maybe you saw that I started blocks from a book about Lucy Boston. Just a minute ago, I saw a button in your sidebar about a pattern, I didn't even know that existed! That is a coincidence don't you think? Are you making that quilt?
Have a nice weekend,

very pretty block..looks quite sophisticated..must be pretty time consuming to make.Did you do applique by hand?
OH, the girls look great dressed in pink. Love this block.
Beautiful girly birds with lovely legfabric!

Those birds look like they will just stroll right off the block, so charming & beautifully executed.
Love your block, such pretty colors! You did a great job on those tiny toes.
Look at those dainty feet! Beautiful work-- and such a fun block. :) You should definitely not be feeling bad about those delayed French knots. I've got a block that needs them that is nearly 4 years delayed at this point. :P
Great Block, I am yet to make this one. I am slowly making progress in between all the other quilts I have on the go.
Cheers
