I also finished the Goodnight Irene top. It measures 48x64. I decided to take an outside shot since it blended in with the carpet color. In hindsight I wish I had used my 2 yards of grey for the background with the blue but I did use up a lot of scraps from the bucket to make this . I think I have a dark blue fabric big enough for the backing of this. Might need to add a stip of something for the side but I should have something to make a small backing for this. Any thoughts on quilting? I am thinking a little meander with some loops but have not decided yet.

Your tiny bird block is really cute. You got me thinking about what I will do for the eyes on my birds block in Baltimore Garden.
That is a cite little birdie! Goodnight Irene is such a lovely quilt.
I like the tan fabric with the blues ... I don't know what your gray looks like, but blue and gray often read similarly so I would have been worried that the 16 patches and the crosses would have blended together. Your bird block is so cute ... reminds me that I need to try that method of applique.
I love your cut bird block.. turned out GREAT! Hope your dd is feeling better today. I love the colors you chose in all it's scrappiness :) I love that finished flimsy and will love to see how you quilt it! Kathi
