Applique owls

Here it is the end of February and I still hadn't decided on a fourth rainbow project. But these little applique owls have been calling to me. I made this brown owl as part of a Dear Jane project...well, the Dear Jane alternate universe project...blocks that I imagined she made but didn't put in her quilt. But as I learned from previous projects, owls need companionship so they can tell ribald knock knock jokes and trade mouse tales, I mean, mouse tails.

So this month I went back a month and made a blue owl. And if you're wondering why the blue owl has a pink beak and toes, its because he used up some remnant cuttings from a pink owl.

So at least on one project, I may well be ahead of the game. And to see what other games people are playing with brown and with scraps, fly on over to the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge.

I love those owls - they look like they’re dancing! Where are they hiding the top hats and canes??

I love Mr Blue Owl and his pink eyes! Yes, owls do like to hang out with others.

Those owls could be in a fashion show, so well dressed and accessorized.

Those are indeed darling owls. Kudos for being ahead of the game too (for a nano second at least!).
