PP Blocks and Isabella Update

Been working on PP Interwoven Diamond blocks. The paper piecing is very easy. Foundation is unprinted newspaper and marked with unthreaded sewing machine needle. I had a few blocks left from a swap and needed more for a good sized lap throw.Fabrics I chose are bright and fun, meant to be cheerful but for an adult. (Click on pics for close-up).
Two more to finish then start sewing into a top. This will be for someone I know that recently had surgery. Really want to finish and get into mail.

Isabella with Frizzle and Buff Leghorn Hens.
Below is a close up, you can see the tint of purple from med I sprayed on. She has no tail feathers and keeps her wings pulled up over bare back. Thank goodness our days have been in 60's and will be for at least a week longer.

She is out with the others daily and staying with them now. First couple days she was hiding all alone. I set up three feed stations and an extra water place so she can get what she needs. She is first to roost at night and the last to come out in mornings. Dear Isabella knows how to take care of herself so I do think she will be alright once the feathers come back. :)
