Design Wall Monday

This is the last Design Wall of 2012, and the year has flown by.  It seems like only a few days ago I was making a list of all my UFO's and getting excited about how much I would accomplish this year.  Well, those plans went out the window in about June!!  But I am happy to report I have been very busy this Christmas vacation.  Here is just a little bit of what I have accomplished.  


I am still working on "My Tweets" by Erin Russek.  Before the break I had 7 blocks put together with 4 of them completely sewn and ready.  I had the goal of finishing the other 5 blocks before I had to go back to work.  The only problem is I forgot how long it takes to finish a block, and I am making all 5 at once!  

Here is the run down
*  all the leaves are made (100 of them)
*  all the bird colors are picked out
*  6 birds are ready to be glued to the background fabric
*  3 birds need to be ironed and then glued to the background fabric

Once the birds are completed I will work on one block at a time so I can get the color combinations right.  Then I will move onto the center medallion.  Even though it was not as much as I wanted to accomplish this week it still feels good to get my hands on some fabric.  
Head over to Patchwork Times to see what else is going on!
