Neat animal blocks, Patty! Have a fun time with your project!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be a part of OMG. Not only does it spur me to finish projects that may be delegated to the 'round to it' pile, but I get to see other beautiful projects that people are working on that I may not have found otherwise. (I am also the queen of run on sentences.) :)
ReplyDeleteYour Woodland animals are so great! I love Juliet's paper-pieced patterns for animals and had great fun making her mini doxie pattern a few months ago. I hope to make the bigger dachshund block in the next few months. Thanks for a great job hosting OMG. Take care, Mary.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal! I've got to complete my goal, because there are some great prizes this month! I've got my eye on the beautiful batiks!
ReplyDeleteThose animal blocks are so cute. Anything you make from them is going to be fun. Thanks for hosting the OMG.
ReplyDeleteCute animal blocks! What a fun project!
ReplyDeleteI'm real good at Linking up to set the Monthly Goal...Maybe this month I will achieve the GOAL!! Thanks for hosting OMG.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you do with these blocks which are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so darn cute. I really wish I had a need for something like that.... Thanks for getting all of the great prizes. Just another little incentive to actually get each goal done! (I say little because I'd like to win but I'm still highly motivated just to do each goal.)
ReplyDeleteThose are sweet animal blocks--can't wait to see them done up in a pillow! Thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteLove these animal blocks, a mini-quilt or a cushion will be so cute. My vote is a cushion.
ReplyDeleteI will investigate Amber's sites I can access. I like what I see here! I barely made it on, having been on vacation, but last works for me. =) The blocks are darling, and whatever they become will be terrific. I look forward to seeing your decision. desertskyquilts.wordpress.com
