Row 4, Character Blocks

 The fourth row of character blocks for my friend's Beatrix Potter quilt is done.  One more row of characters, then the bottom borders.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get it done tomorrow.

More Paper-Piecing, Safari Animals Quilt

 Cutting the fabric and then adding that one large triangle to the 180 three-piece units for the Safari Animals quilt took several hours.  Next, the tan and light brown triangles.  (Yes, I stacked those units back up neatly after I took the picture.  😉 )  Paper-piecing slows things down, but it's accurate. I sure couldn't have rotary cut these sizes!

Units for Safari Animals

 72 of the inner three-piece units for this block for grandson Jeffrey's Safari Animals quilt are together; there are 106 to go. Then I'll add the next three pieces to those same units, after which four units will be combined to make one block. There are 45 blocks. Then the sashing and cornerstones... borders around the animal prints... It'll be a while. This block is called 'Cock's Comb'. Good thing I switched to red, ay?
