    I might just have to do this one! Already been searching for an unusual jungle/zoo animal! Although I love the usual animals also! Just like to be different.

    Default "Dahlia" Peacock

    Don't think I like the background fabric. I do like the peacock

    Open to suggestions.........

    Cute peacock!! The background fabric is great, but perhaps if you used a different one that gives more contrast-??

    Adorable peackock! I think the first back ground is cute but too colorful and busy. What I some times do is sew a grass to a sky fabric and then add he applique. The top are some partial finnished blocks for another swap and the bottom is a completed block for another swap.

    Thank you. Some similar owls were send in with this swap too. Maybe you'll get one. Ugh I know what you mean about picking fabric. Some times I wash a whole yard and then end up not using it or make 6 blocks and get some so so reactions from my family.
