My crazy quilt block with the vintage handkerchief that I shared yesterday is complete:
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, this is a gift for a friend. Her favorite color these days is green so I wanted lots of green. Look closely at the bird. It's a peacock. A vintage brooch that I've been saving for something special. If all goes as planned, I'll get this sewn up over the weekend.
My next project incorporates another vintage hankie:
If you look closely, you can see that I don't obsess over my curved seams. I just top stitch them and then sew trim and lace on those seams.
I'll be starting on this block later today. The floral in the center is from a vintage hankie that I found at a flea market. I thought this would be pretty with blue stitching. Yellow and blue always look nice together!

Seeing the peacock (beautiful, btw) reminded me of the brooches my mother used to have - wonder what happened to them. Wish I had them now!
