Two more blocks finished in the Farm Girl Vintage sew along. I love my blue chicken! I was trying to even out the colors in the quilt top, and decided I didn't want to make it yellow or orange. So I chose blue. A couple of years ago my husband and I took a trip to England, and there was a sculpture of a blue rooster in Trafalgar Square. Now I know my hen doesn't look much like the sculpture, but I kept thinking of it when I was making the block. I'll embroider the eye when I finish the blocks.
Next up was Milking Day. I got to use up some more of the scraps from the other blocks.
I did some other sewing this weekend as well. My quilting class is starting up in September and I need to get those class projects going. I finished up a pillow and wrote out some cutting directions for a couple of projects. I'm trying to stay ahead of it this year so I'm not sewing at the last minute!

Happy hen!
I love the blue rooster! Beautifully done!
Cute blocks! I have a friend who's brother when to some university I think in Deleware and their mascot was the Fighting Blue Hens... he'd love this block too!
