ticker tape blocks... DONE!

I can't believe I've stuck with this project for  a whole year! Today I finished up the last 2 blocks for my ticker tape quilt...

 I'll be honest, I wasn't thrilled with these colors and I had very little in my stash to add to the scraps we were given. I did find a cute puppy and this awesome cockatoo. He came off of a piece of fabric Maria sent me (was it this past Christmas? Or the Christmas before?) Anyways, now that I have cut one cockatoo out of the corner I am motivated to make something out of the rest of that fabric!

 The rust was even harder. If you look very closely you'll see that several fabrics are repeated. Sigh. But they're done!

 so, 25 (I did an extra one last month so my quilt can be square) done. Here they are...

Get a good look at them because you won't see them again until October. That's right, we're all keeping our finished quilts a secret until our "Ticker Tape Parade" in October! There will be lots of pictures then, I promise!
