I am on a roll. Here is block #7 of the Civil War Bride quilt.
Those of you who have studied the pattern are probably scratching your heads trying to figure out what is different about my block. Hint: look at the toes. For those who aren't familiar with the pattern, the peacocks have feet with teeny tiny toes - lots of toes. I tried to applique those itty bitty toes and finally decided that they looked awful so decided my birds are in trees with lots of leaves.
Here are closeups of the birds so you can see how I used the fabric to my advantage.
I love the peacocks! The blue fabric reminds me of a fabric my Mother had that she bought in the 50's; I think she used it for curtains. She gave me a scrap of it a while back - now when I see it, I'm going to think of the eyes in peacock tails. :)

Toes are so overrated! Love the leaves. Your block is beautiful. Great job.

ReplyDeleteTOTALLY agree about the toes!! I have plans for those other pesky toes on future blocks.
