They make the colours pop. It is a good tip to cut those outer triangles slightly bigger. The finished block looks very neat and tidy.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525435687338202458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-61935641135433973832013-03-14T20:14:45.259-04:002013-03-14T20:14:45.259-04:00i think that your additions of red and black reall...i think that your additions of red and black really help push it into that Amish look and i like the way these blocks all look together. i think when you get some hand quilting into those solid colors you are going to be absolutely delighted at how beautiful this is~!!~i know that i can hardly wait to see how it transforms with that next process applied~!<br /><br />i like cutting my triangles a bit larger and trimming to size as you did too. when you are finished trimming, every block fits beautifully with the next.<br /><br />a beautiful hawk~!and quite large too.<br />it's too bad that you didn't get to see it move around a bit more as it would be a bit easier to identify but here is a link to a great site that i found while trying to figure it out: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-tailed_Hawk/id <br />maybe you'll see it again and be more able to tell what kind of hawk it is.<br /><br />it looks like that tulip tree is ready to either leaf out or bloom . . . i've not seen this type of tree before but it looks like large buds/bloom? maybe during one of your upcoming walks you can shoot it again so we can see the progress that your spring season is making?<br /><br />:-)<br />libbyQlibbyquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03360109482795842401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-17508827102771731642013-03-14T06:15:25.275-04:002013-03-14T06:15:25.275-04:00The quilt definitely has an Amish feel.
