Kat, I am feeling the same way with mine afte Lacyblues posted! I finished up mine today and now I'm thinking the brown in them might be too dark with all the other light colors being used. (And I really like the fabric I picked out. Hubbie is hunting right now, and deer are the new "theme" in the bedroom/house....

Love this!! I for sure like the brown since I used pinecone print in my block. This is going to be sew fun to put together. I hope we all post finished quilt pictures so we can see the final arrangement!

Woot Woot! I finished 15 today and had parts left over for one more block. I was afraid I miscounted!

Kat,

Love the gorgeous rooster. I am sorry for the lose, he's a looker! I have one similar in color, except green/purple mixed in with his dark feathers and golden neck. He's really large, and proud! I named him Moto Moto. (If you've see Madagascar where the zoo animals get to Africa and the hippo is lounging in the pool, then you'll get the name!) You're post made me laugh at the look of being touched and running off. My Americana's do the same thing. Maybelle gets right up on my feet and follows me and then jumps when I touch her with a squawk! Congrats on the new man of the yard!

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had a very good and tiring Turkey day, I didn't realize just how tired I was till I finely got to really sit down at about 8pm last night. The new man on the yard has really taken to the dominate hen or should I say she is smitten with him. I let my girls out after getting home with him and locked him in the pen so he could adjust for a couple of hours and when they were all interested in each other then I let him out. He went into the coop with the others at dusk and when I peeked in Golden Girl was hugged up next to her new man, and the others were on different roosts. I'm am surprised at how fast he adjusted. Now on to the colors of the blocks, I too thought maybe it was kinda dark and not with the color theme, but there are 5 of us that have gone with bright (not to say that the blues are dull) so I think the blues will break up the colors nicely. Abbynormal I got the Moto Moto, now I just need to watch the new man to pick a name for him, he was called Handsome might still stick time will tell. Now on to finishing my blocks, as my husband tells me "sew sew little silk worm".

Hi,
I lost my big RIR roo today, he was an old man, and really thought he was something Golden Girl (Buff) stayed by his side for a little bit like she was checking on him. I don't know why he died he was fine all day yesterday and I went to check them this morning and let them out and he was taking his last breath in the pen. I do have his son and daughter so that is the bright spot in this. Wow the king of the yard is gone.

Sorry to hear about your roo.

Awesome, they get along you never know.

So the colors are not blues anymore?

Looks like there are a variety of colors being used. As long as it looks wintery.
