After John mentioned adding a barn quilt to one of the birdhouses, I had to make a small block. I'm bummed that one of my red triangles in the center is off, but I might still use it (and I'm not above a little creative coloring to "fix" it a bit).

Cynaduq. You could fuse a red triangle the correct size over the existing area and edge stitch all 4 red triangles and they might all look the same. Cute idea for the barn quilt block. I liked the idea when John said it too. HelenW

If you are going to be doing a lot of applique a travel iron is wonderful to have. I needed a new one and found this Sunbeam 800 watt on Amazon for under $15 and it works beautifully. With this style of iron you can just set it on top of the applique and don't have to hold or push down which allows you to get the next piece ready. On Karen Kay Buckley's web site in her videos she says to let the weight of the iron do the work, no need to push down.

Still working on more pedals for more flowers. Thanks for the inspiration. Attachment 26BC27B9-B5D4-4590-B8B1-2555EC02998F.jpeg not found

Enjoying the process of assembling and making the elements for the quilt. I decided to make the quilt about half the size. Currently, auditioning placement of birdhouse, flowers and birds. The cat is pieced into the background and the bird feeder is applique. Not certain if I like the birdfeeder - may need to add other design elements to make it more cohesive.
