Blockheads Design Wall



I haven't updated the progress on the Blockheads quilt for a couple of weeks. I have been working on it in small bits of time and here are all my blocks on the design wall. Block #24 was posted last week, so I'm just a tad behind with 22 finished blocks.




Block #16
Did you notice that I finished the flag block #16
I wanted to make a Canadian flag in honour of the 150th birthday of Canada this year, and my friend found these tiny little maple leaves that I fussy cut and appliqued onto the flags. 







They are just as big as a thumb nail! 




Block #23


I also finished block #23 called Winnecone Star. It was fast and easy. 
I am still working on block #22 which is the appliqued bird house, and will soon get working on block #24 released last week.  
To see more design wall postings, hop over to Small Quilts.

You've done a great job of keeping up with the Blockheads. They come in so fast and furious, it seems! Glad you are feeling well enough to be posting; it's good to hear from you and know you are healing.

I love it! It is such a pleasing group of blocks to look at. I like that you have not just done light backgrounds for you applique blocks. That really adds to the whole. The Canadian flag block is delightful - such tiny leaves. Nice job!

So excited to see your Canadian flags! I'm four blocks behind, and may lag a little more. Glad to see you are on the mend!
