5 hours later...

I got the book, "Feathered Friends",

by Jette Norregaard Nielsen

for Christmas from my Husband (Thanks Honey!)

Birds are a strong theme in my art plans for 2011.

I decided to  try the seagull pattern.

Oh my!

63 pieces....

7 X 9 inch block...

5 hours!

(making copies, cutting out paper units

cutting fabric, sewing, pulling off paper)

And the result...

(he doesn't have an eye yet)

I like the block, but I am NOT doing another one!

I have another pieced block of a seagull

that is more square and abstract.

I think I will try that one tomorrow.
