Bluebird block

Today DH headed back to our new house and I finally had a day of quiet stitching. Since my design wall is filled with DIL's project, I couldn't arrange my finished basket blocks so I decided to finish another block for the Civil War Bride quilt. I love this little bluebird but am now out of prepared appliqué. Eek, I guess that means it is time for some hand quilting!

A cardinal for the bride

Life has been crazy and stressful lately so I haven't had much time for seeing but while tiding my sewing table I realized I had not posted this block. I have been working on the Civil War Bride quilt off and on for over a year and I only have a few blocks left. One if these blocks has two birds that look like vultures to me and I decided to change them to cardinals. Much better I think.
