Aren't they beautiful birds?!
The Sandhill Cranes are tall--48-50" each.
Their chatter is beautiful and their songs, while a bit boisterous, are incredible, too. They come up to get some cracked corn to warm up after our chilly mornings lately!
I stitched all of the blocks together and then had the less-than-thrilling job of ripping all of the paper away from the blocks. Now if I had used the special paper available in pads for foundation paper piecing, which comes out in the wash, this step could've been skipped but I used thin copy paper.
Here is the pile of paper I ended up with--about 8" high! lol
And most of it peeled away very nicely.
I'm pleased with the results.
I added some left over 2" strips for borders.
The final dimensions will be about 24" x 34" after I layer it up
and load it on the machine for quilting!
Those are some amazing birds. I'd have to walk the other way if I saw one. They are BIG.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were foundation piecing that project. I am fascinated by the process but have never tried it. I like watching other people do it on YouTube....lol.
