May 2025 BOM baskets

The month of May assignment for The Quilt Show BOM is completed. I made all 20 baskets. Now I need to work on the February blocks. The 6 ones shown here are part of it. I have cut all pieces and now I have to finish to hand applique them to the background and finally trim to size.

The Raven Blocks

 Blackbird Designs has reprinted the book with the patterns for "The Raven" Quilt. I always loved this quilt and since the book is again available I could not resist another "start".

I am using fabrics from my collection so far. But I will add some more blacks since I don't have enough. These blocks are 20 inches, so the birds are big fellows. 

What a shame, I have to buy fabrics. LOL.

I will prepare a few more blocks for my needle turn applique. I will wait to decide on some of the colors for things like berries, stars, etc.

Bellow are blocks 1 and 2 with possible pieces just pinned on the background.
