Scrappy Saturday
A bit of progress has been made with my green scraps this month. Sally posted the instructions to make the most adorable little owl block on her blog and I just had to try making one. Here are all the bits and pieces cut out for the owl... that's one complex little block!
And here she is... meet Olivia Owl! This is a 5" block (unfinished) and cute as a button! As you can see I had to remake the eye sections since the fussy cut pieces I had chosen (in the photo above) didn't pop enough.
OMG! Total cuteness!
I adore her!
I'm not sure if she will be a "one of a kind" block or if she will eventually have some friends joining her. It was very time consuming, but we shall see. Did you know that a group of owls is called a "parliament"? Sally made a parliament - click here to see it!
Here she is with the scrappy green star blocks I made this month. These blocks will join the collection of Maverick Stars.
Linking up to the green RSC party over at Angela's.
The owl block is absolutely adorable...I really do think you need a parliament of owls!!!
ReplyDeleteThat owl is a star in his own right!
ReplyDeleteThat is cute, and that is a lot of pieces!
ReplyDeleteThe owl is super cute!
ReplyDeleteOlivia is just darling....
ReplyDeleteOh, the cutest "owlet" with those stars--super combo ;)))
ReplyDelete...hugs, Julierose
I love your owl! It is so cute - I never think of making paper piece blocks it does look time consuming. I will go look at the link to see the "Parliament" of owls - I had never heard that
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely owl: a real winner! I must make some too.
ReplyDeleteolivia is a beauty - I really like you choices for the green stars
ReplyDeleteHappy 88 to you also! I love Classical, I started at the age of 6. I must admit I do not drag myself to the piano and play like I used to, but love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute owl! I have to wonder if he'll get some other tiny animal friends. Like the stars too!
ReplyDeleteTOO cute!! Your Maverick Stars remind me of the set of blocks that I have sitting in a drawer up in the sewing room. It's been a LONG time since I've added to that collection! I really miss making them...
ReplyDeleteHow fun...I got to see another cute owl in a green collection of blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour little owl is so cute! I found the fabric choice for the eyes to be tricky, too, but yours turned out great! I always love those star blocks, too.
ReplyDeleteLove hootie's eyes! Such a cheerful little owl.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand why your owl is looking up and to the left. He wonders how anyone who has made 6 trillion Alamo stars can consider the owl pattern to be complex. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute! Great fussy-cut eyes. Before I read the post I had noticed that the eyes were not the same as the squares in the photo and I wondered about that. Thanks for explaining. :)
ReplyDeleteYour owl block is so cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is an adorable owl block, and he looks great with the Maverick Stars!
ReplyDeleteYour Owl is so Cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love your owl and I loved Sally's reference to you 6 trillion (very tiny) Alamo stars. I have to paw through my Kaffe collection to see if I can find suitable eyes and then get up the courage to actually cut up some Kaffe fabric.

Your owl is too cute! Those would make a very cute baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun seeing everyone's owls and what they used for eyes. Yours is another cutie!
ReplyDeleteWee that owl is so so cute!
