A Tisket A Tasket Blocks 3 & 4

I was able to sneak in some play time and get these next 2 blocks done.

Block 3 Done! Instead of using ribbon, I made an applique ribbon on the bunny. That bunny tail is one tiny little tail, but it really does make the bunny!

Block 4 Done! I turned the bunny's ears down, as I liked them better this way and opted to go without the ribbon on the chick.


And the 4 blocks that I have done so far. I still need to change the first block (replace the large center berry with 3 smaller ones). I was looking over all the different versions of these blocks on the Flicker Group and they are all wonderful! Can't wait to see what Anne comes up with next!

Red Delicous Blocks 3 and 4

The block below is the 3rd block called 'Love Apple' from Esther's Red Delicious BOM.


And the 4th block called 'Peony Bloom' is below.

And below are the 4 blocks that I have done so far.

Esther should be coming out with her next block around the 15th of the month. It feels so good to be ahead of the game for a change.

Red Delicious Block 2 Done & Block 1-Take 2

Esther's quilt design has given me a challenge to think outside the box. I auditioned so many color combination's for this quilt. In the end, I decided to go ahead and mimic Esther's choice of luscious 'reds', but to compliment it with some additional colors.
That being said, I ended up redoing block 1 because the lighter background was not playing nicely with my background choice for block 2 - and I really like the darker background anyway.

Now, I feel like I have a plan and I'm ready to take on the remaining blocks.

This months design by Anne at Bunny Hill Designs is just the sweetest! I have been admiring everyone blocks and thought it was about time that I finish my own - so here it is!

And the next shot is the first two blocks together. I need to remove the large berry on the snowman block and replace it with a cluster of a three smaller berries, as the scale looks out of proportion to the February block.

Can't wait to see what she comes up with next month.

Red Delicious Block One

I told myself that I would finish this block today, no matter what. As I posted earlier, I was struggling with the birds tail feathers and tried several different looks. As you can see, I ended up adding an additional feather at the end of the bird and overall have learned to like it that way. I have a bad habit of 'overthinking' about things and I believe this was why I was having such a difficult time with this block.

I finally got this block done. I would have liked to have done the snowman with wool, but I didn't have any white and the cream just didn't look right.


I decided to not use the buttons (even though they look so cute on Anne's block). I am thinking that I will have an easier time to quilt this later if the buttons aren't there. This was a fun block to do - it works up really fast!

Now, to finish up the first block of 'Red Delicious'. I am struggling with the birds tails - I am not liking the embroidered look, so will try something else.

A Tisket A Tasket BOM

Just what I needed - another project! I was reading Anne of Cottons'n Wool blog and saw this Free mystery BOM that Anne at Bunny Hill Designs has started and I just can't resist.

Isn't this the sweetest block!! I can't wait to see the rest of the blocks and get started on this project!
