Beaks and Feet and Owls, Oh My!
It's a miracle! I've FINALLY finished cutting and fusing all of the wool beaks and feet for Hooterville. What should have taken a couple hours for a normal person took me about a year to accomplish. Better late than never, right?
And now I have a dilemma and I need some advice. These are the original Hooterville Trees.....and as I started looking at them I started realizing that the tree in the upper left is a lot darker than the other trees and kind of looks out of place.......
And then I grabbed this Pam Kitty Morning Green Plaid fabric to see how it would look in place of the dark green dots......
And wow! It looks a lot better, doesn't it? I even showed it to Mr. Sew Fab who said "Yeah....it totally balances it out." Don't you just love it when a man can make a comment that's a little more thoughtful than "it's nice." I was VERY impressed. Anyway....what do you think? Do I need to make a new plaid tree? I do, don't I?

I think either tree works. Your quilt, your call. The owls won't tell if you sneak some pam kitty in there. Way cute owls by the way.
Hi Jenny I think I like the dark green the best because in nature we don't get matchy but the other one looks nice too so it depends on what you like.
I like the dark one-and the block that ties it together is the striped tree, b/c it has both dark & light green. Of course, it is a personal preference and not my quilt--LOL!!
The owls are SO cute. Am looking forward to seeing the finish!
I like the plaid!But either would be pretty. You have been busy this week!
