Good evening! I am a bit late to the hand quilting report party, but it is better late than never, right? I have been busy finishing my cross country poncho and my little friends quiet book. I’m sad to say that this quilt didn’t get much of my attention.
Oh well- let’s see, last time I reported on Mr Peacock. He looks great!
Now it is time to start cutting again. Here we go!
Sometimes just looking at all of the piles of fabric can be overwhelming, but I do need this fabric. I still have quite a bit more to go.
I spent over an hour cutting marking and arranging one block. It is a messy job! I really like the end results though. This horse is going to be awesome:)
I am very happy to say that this block is my final animal block. Whew! Those were tricky! Now I have eight little wreath blocks that should be a breeze compared to all off the teeny pieces that I have been working with lately.

I just tried to sign up with my new e-address, but I got a message that my attempt had failed and that I should try again with a valid address. The address I used is a valid address. I am trying to close the old account because it has been hacked and is being used for fraud. Is there any way you can help me.

Thank you Kate! I am very much on the last laps around the track for sure. Sometimes I think this part is the hardest part of quilting. The excitement of the newness is over and the end really isn’t in sight but you know it can’t be too far away. :)❤️

Thank you Kerry! I think this one I going to be better than the crazy unicorn from last time. I very rarely remake blocks, but I MIGHT redo that one!

It looks fabulous! I like the fabric you chose for the horse, and it looks good against that background. The poncho was handwork, too.
