Tweet! Tweet! Only one more to go!

I forgot how fast I can stitch these blocks up!  I finished Birdie Stitch Block 12 today:

I focused on just red and green fabrics for the block, given the Christmas theme.

Thought I would also share a picture of the back of the block, just for grins.

Per the instructions, I use the entire 6 strands of embroidery floss to do the backstitching.  For this block, I used exactly one of those small $1 skeins of DMC floss – Red Color 666 (or 999 if you prefer).

Last block to be designed today.  I am substituting for the June block with a variation of a signature block.  Once done – I can start to play with the layout options.  That will certainly be the toughest part of this quilt project I think!

Hope your weekend is going well!  Thanks for stopping by!
