The roll of the blue dice this week brought up number 3. I’m rather pleased as I haven’t worked on this UFO for a while.
The dice rolled three this week
So where am I up to? I’d done quite well on this project, it seems, and this is how I left it. All pinned up and ready to quilt. Those cute little birds have been waiting patiently for some more attention.
Okay birds, it’s your time again. It was a simple matter to quilt around the straight lines with my walking foot. FMQ is a different thing altogether, and I always forget exactly how to go about it. I found my free motion foot, plugged it in, and had a little play to get to grips with this technique again. Unfortunately, I’m not the worlds best at this, and I find it difficult to keep my swirls smooth. I know – the experts all say “practice, practice, practice”. But I try my best and set to work.
Ready to start quilting
This is only a little wall hanging so my aim this week is to finish the quilting, and get the binding sewn on and stitched down. And then I can finally cross this UFO off my list and put another in it’s place!

Oh my goodness, it is smaller than I imagined. Such a sweet wee project, you will have it done in no time.
Such a lovely BIRD wall hanging..
I hear you Jenny when it comes to quilting.
It's not my favorite thing either ..
Just relax and enjoy.
Your Soul Searching blocks are really coming along. And I love these bird panels. I had to smile when you spoke of spring because that means we are moving quickly towards our fall...no, not yet, please. With such a late, cool spring and all the rain, we just haven't had enough summer yet!
Good luck with your goal. It will be nice to finally hang it on your wall.
