Here are the cranes I made for today's rainbow challenge at So Scrappy. Yesterday, I mentioned that I am making these in an attempt to lure away Mystic Quilter's cats. We'll have to see how that goes. For the crane I showed yesterday, I added strips on the top and bottom to make the crane stand out better. But for the rest I will wait until I am ready to assemble the quilt top and then choose the water, I mean sashing.
So this is everything I have made so far. For each crane block I end up with 2 extra half-square triangles. I will assemble these as I go along as well. In this case I had some extras due to excess creativity (aka mistakes).

    Cranes are supposed to be good luck, aren't they? I love them. Can't wait to see the end result.

    I didn't know that cranes bring good luck - you should be in a good place then with a quilt full! Great way to make them using the half square triangles and I do like all your different blues.

    Those are cute. Sure hope Mystic's cats do stay away! But either can come to my house !

    Wow, these are cool. I've never seen this before. Are they swans or geese? So pretty.

    Wow - I wonder if those fabric cats will chase after your cranes? Too funny.
