I am making a Hummingbird quilt inspired by one made by Minnie Jacobs Schultz c. 1930. See a previous blog post for details. I started making blocks in 2023. At the beginning of this month I had 21 blocks made with a goal of 63.
I am glad to say that this month I have made my goal as far as Hummingbirds and now I have started appliquing them to the yellow background squares.
I now have 31 blocks finished.
And I have 32 more to go.
And sew on...

Out of the blue and for no particular reason I received a nice card from Mary L in Ohio. I don't know her but evidently she knows me. What a pleasant surprise. It made my day.
Another surprise came a few days ago from Kathy who sent me some of her beautiful orphan blocks.
I have finished two books in a series by Robert Bailey - Legacy of Lies and The Wrong Side. They were legal thrillers that weren't all that thrilling.

Those are going to be beautiful. You are going to town on them! I really like that yellow background.
I love that hummingbird quilt-especially the yellow background! This one is definitely on my list to make now that they are applique and not pieced, I once made a drunkards path using hand applique and then trimmed excess on the back-you really can't tell the difference . Anne
Only just back to blog reading Cathy! Having to just read the up to date posts and of course up came your beautiful Hummingbird quilt blocks, they're beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing all the blocks together!
