Well, I finally finished these two blocks!
The Duck print featured in the first block, I purchased at a totally great little shop called
A Quilters Garden a few years ago when I was visiting Montpelier Vermont. That was really an awesome day - there was also ice cream. Fabric AND Ice Cream.
This block with the Montpelier Ducks has been all basted and waiting to be pieced together for over a month now because I couldn't decide on the fabric for that center triangle. Finally I went ahead and pulled the trigger with this pink flower.... someone please convince me I did the right thing, because I'm not sure! Eep! Perhaps when it's in with the others, the pink will feel more at home. Plus the other ducks will then have company and will therefore also feel more at home. :)

| I designed this block specifically for the Duck print with the same Reverse Window Shopping technique I used for the Strawberries in my first post. |
This next one with the Fish is a block design I've been calling by the nickname Starthistle, but if you know a traditional nickname for it, please tell me in the comments!

| For some reason, I am convinced that these fish are distant cousins of the Montpelier Ducks. |
Thanks for reading!
All the best,
Reyna
