Some of you might recall when these two patterns came out a couple of years ago. It was a free BOM from
Esther Aliu. I was excited to start this BOM but alas other things came about which got me sidetracked. Needless to say I only did two of the blocks.
As I was making them I also hand quilted them. I was going to do a "quilt as you go" quilt. Instead of a quilt I made two pillows. I just put them in the mail yesterday. I sent the birds to my mom and flowers to my sister for Christmas gifts.
I guess I can say two UFOs are finished!
With Passion,
