Not bad, but hubby thought he looked a little, well, bloated. Part of me just wanted to get this quilt done and said it was fine. The other part of me wanted to get this done right and agreed Ducky was a little round. After tweaking the design and cutting into more scraps, I think Ducky looks more comfortable, and certainly more like the rubber duckies gathering dust atop my bathroom cabinet since the kids outgrew them.

He didn't quite fill the block the way I needed him to. Plus, when I came back to him after a good night's sleep I no longer thought he was cute. He seemed rather stern, like a guard dog on duty. I started over almost from scratch to transform him into a cuddlier-looking pooch.

I like the roundness of your bloated duck - but I have to agree that the proportions look better on your final design. Your hound dog is really cute. I can't imagine trying to design any of these. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteYour designs are adorable! I do like the new duck and the new puppy is perfect! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteThese designs are darling! I agree that while the first duck was cute, the second is more like a rubber ducky.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! And yes, sometimes what happens in fabric is not what we designed on paper, so good to make test pieces. Thank you for sharing these on Midweek Makers!
ReplyDeleteI could have settled for the first ones, but I agree the editing on both the ducky and puppy were worth the time. The owl looks perfect to me now. I couldn't do any of those from scratch if I tried a month! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking real cute! I think my favorite is your little owl! He looks great!

Your designs are really nice. I like the puppy; he looks as if he's on his best behaviour, waiting for a treat!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I actually like both versions of the puppy! :)
ReplyDeleteThe second version of the puppy is definitely a win. I rather like the first version of the duck though. Actually reminds me of the giant inflated duck we just had here at Canalside in Buffalo!
ReplyDeleteA great improvement on the duck block. And your puppy is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe duckie is a cutie! But that dog . . . wow! I love him! I think he'd be a great project for an RSC quilt! (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteThey are all such fun! XO
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I could have sworn I left a comment before but I guess it never posted. The owl is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAww... I love each one of these! That little pooch is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteWell I'd never have thought I'd see you making animal blocks! These are cute, stern dog and all (I have one, named Naala; she's our protector) I don't know if I agree about the medium brown fabric for the owl, looks kind of feathery IMHO and I like it. One day I hope to have EQ...
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so cute, I especially like the duck!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are look so pretty! Especially love the one with the duck ♥
