I finally figured out what I wanted to put in the corners of my bird center blocks. I think the stars fill the space nicely. I also added the little red upside down teardrops in the center because (of course) the bird isn't quite centered.
Who am I kidding . . . this is going tot take a while~
I didn't post anything about my finishes for last year. I do still have a quilt to show but I haven't taken a picture of it. I also have my collected empty spools which is proof I did do something.
Last year was definitely not about quantity. It was more about trying new quilting ideas (that didn't always turn out) and learning new things.
An example is this quilt top I call "I can't hear you!" because it is so muted. I found out that these colors are not my color scheme. I didn't enjoy this at all.
Please click on the picture to enlarge it and you'll get a better sense of the colors.
I have put it to the back of the queue for quilting. Not sure what to do with it. Lovely fabric line just not ringing any bells.

Not sure of the pattern but looks like a bow tie with those little points. That quilt will make someone happy. You are obviously a brighter fabric person. Good workmanship. Dotti in CT🍓
Just love the stars' addition...they look perfect about your little bird...
I have taken apart so many quilts and blocks this year that I should list those instead of what I made!! this will be a lovely donation --looks like a boy's or a man's favorite shirt colors..and it does look like bow ties i think also...beautiful workmanship on this...hugs Julierose
Your little bird block looks wonderful! What I love the most is the addition of the inverted teardrop shapes. Interesting what our eyes are immediately drawn to. I understand your feelings about the second quilt. Very Civil war looking, which I think many of us once loved but the beautiful bright fabrics available to us now are quite addicting.
The stars look perfect with the little bird! Love the muted quilt as well as the great name!
The bird blocks will be fun and colorful but the muted quilt is exactly the colors scheme of my friend!
I love your bird block. It's great. Hugs
I admire the graphic quality of your quilt. It requires a second glance and then another.
The fact that you put some careful work into it - maybe that's not enough to make it sing to you, but it will sing to someone.
Perhaps a border of these colors in brighter hues?
Your bird is wonderful. Are you joining BB#3? I am taking a little blogging break to figure out how to reignite my quilting this year.
