LBB Update

November 5, 2012 in Quilting No Comments »

I have been steadily working on Little Brown Bird.  Instead of working on the next block, I decided to move to the side triangles.

There are eight of them, all in the same pattern.  I thought if I worked on them assembly line style it would go quicker.  I thought wrong.  It is going just as slow all the other blocks.  On top of it, each one has 22 stuffed berries.  These little berries take some time to make – of course, by the 22nd it was going a bit quicker.  I am at the stage of stitching them on.  Not the easiest task either.  But boy, do they make the blocks stand out.  Here is what I have done so far – still about 13 more berries to stitch on.

Now, it can’t be all applique and nothing else.  But, those who know me, knows that I do not like to have too many projects started at once.  I really wanted something to piece.  So I purchased one of the border fabrics for LBB.  Now I can get started on the sawtooth star borders.
