It’s time for some more Rainbow Scrap Challenge stitching organised by Angela of So Scrappy, and the colour this month is blue. I’ve several monthly RSC projects on the go and so far I’ve stitched my allotted blocks for two of them which will eventually be donation quilts for children. Firstly I appliqued three little blue birds, then sat and stitched their legs and eyes on. “Look how skinny those birds legs are”, Robin commented – well, I told him, they are tiny birds so skinny little legs are fine for them.
Three little blue birds
The little blue birds couldn’t wait to join the rest of the flock
Next I worked on boats for the boy’s quilt, and made four of these. I also altered the three green palm tree blocks I had stitched last month, and the trees are now standing at the edge of a South Sea Island.
Boats and palm trees
Our Birman cat Gemma is rather partial to birds too, and spends a lot of her time looking out the window just in case some birds appear. When she spots any birds outside on the grass, she makes funny little chirruping noises in excitement! We leave the venetian blinds lifted up off the carpet so she can peep out unhindered, or relax in the window as the sun streams in. Cats certainly have a great life, don't they.
Any birds out there?

Lovely work on your blue blocks. The birds are so delightful. And the boat blocks are looking wonderful too.
Both your birds and your boats and palm trees are just so adorable, Jenny! I love how they are coming together...Gemma is so cute peering out there...

Your bird blocks are really cute! They will make a lovely donation quilt, happy stitching!
Those birds just brought me the biggest smile! They are so adorable!! Now I want to make bird blocks too!! I have a pattern for pieced birds somewhere. Wonder where it is? LOL
The fun angles on those birds give them all such great personality. Nice progress so early in the month!
I'm in love with your little birds. So cute!! Love the idea of adding islands with palm trees to a boat quilt. I did one for my son, a long time ago. I never thought of adding islands. Great job with the blues. Gemma is gorgeous!! Birman cats are so lovely. Enjoy! ;^)
such cute birds I love them
Wow, Jenny! You really made quick work of your Birds and Boats in BLUE.
I love your birds and boats! The birds remind me of the little ones with skinny legs that run along the edge of the shore where the waves go in and out. Gemma is such a pretty cat!
Your bird blocks are so cute! Although I’m sure Gemma fancies the real birds more! Our cats “chatter” with excitement, too, when they see birds. Probably dreaming up a tasty snack...
The birds look fabulous with all the others...
Lovely boats and palm tree blocks....
Cats have the best life...
Your flock of tiny birds and the fleet of boats are adorable. They will make fun quilts.
Those birds are cute with their little legs. I agree, cats have quite the life! I wish I was a cat =)
Love your funky birds and boats, yes our cat is a bird fanatic. She talks to them and the other day hubby played a bird noise on his phone, she went looking for the bird.
Such a darling flock of birds...skinny legs and all. And your cat is so cute. It is a good idea to raise the blinds otherwise the cat will damage them with constant pawing. Ask me how I know :-)
Your flock of birds is growing! It will be a fun quilt! I like the altered palm trees with the boats, a boy quilt for sure!
You made really happy bird blocks also the boats are so cute. Well done Jenny!
