I'm still have some detailing to do on this block...but it was fun. I love the bird swooping in on those grapes! and, OOPS! There's my needle in the lower left! LOL! ~Vicki in Connecticut, USA
Actually, I think the original maker got the block upside down when she assembled the quilt top. The bird is upside down for swooping and the grape clusters are growing up.
If you turn the block upside down, it will suddenly look right-side up and, to my eye, more balanced. Unfortunately, I didn't know that before I made mine, so I flipped the bird over so it looked more like it was swooping down.
The Civil War Bride Quilt Blog is for those of us making the quilt from the pattern by Corliss Searcey of Threadbear in Castlemaine, Victoria, Aus.
