Scrap Happy Summer Challenge

The weeks seem to be flying past, I don't know if it's the fact that I'm getting older or I'm just so busy I feel like I'm chasing my tail. The big plans I had for huge amounts of sewing to be done between last week and this week seem to have flown out the window.
Any way I showed a peek of this photo last week, but just to confuse you all, it's not what I worked on.
Instead I chose the one in blue, I mentioned that there are four in total, and it just so happened that the blue birds were on the top of the pile.
My first attempt at echo quilting.
This little Munchkin has been away for five days with her mummy. Home yesterday, so time for plenty of Gran cuddles and kisses.
Now to find the time to sit down and get some summer sewing done for her, she's growing so fast we can't seem to keep up with her clothing needs.

Happy Stitching.
Linda

What a cute block, love the fabrics you used for the birds and leaves. Is the echo quilting difficult? Those little pig-tails are the cutest things I have seen in a long time!
