They are simply beautiful. Your embordiery added a lot to the blocks. May I just suggest that some shiny thread play on the hummingbirds throat would be really nice. The ones I see have a very iridescent look in the throat ( red ) area.

That is going to be one gorgeous quilt when you are finished. What size will it be? Please continue to post progress pictures. I think the embroidery adds to the multi-dementional look. Thanks for sharing & welcome to the board.

Bravo!!! They are indeed worthy of their own quilt. It will be a thing of beauty. You have inspired us all. You have made lovely art from the common crayon. Please keep us posted on your new beauties.

Great idea with the shinny threads. It may be hard to tell in the picture, but on the Humming bird I used Metallic crayons. I'll have to look for the threads tho.
