Aurifil January Block
Pin It
I finished my block for the Aurifil Block of the Month - Erin Russek is the January Designer of the month and the block is called Jumping Jack Flash. I can't believe I waited until the last moment to make it!! I used all batiks in it.
We are very fortunate to enjoy watching lots of Eagles along the Mississippi river. They are such beautiful birds.
I had to zoom in with my camera to get this photo after I carefully and quietly tried to get as close as I could. The eagles spend a lot of time out on the ice near open pools of water.
This photo is when I first saw the eagle and then tried to get as close as I could.
I'm about half way done with piecing the new Nyan Cat quilt, the backing is ordered and should be here within the week so I decided to take a little time off and make a little something for Valentines Day that I will share tomorrow. We got a couple of inches of snow yesterday and now the temperatures are supposed to start dropping.

Great block...very nice eagle too
Very pretty block - love bald eagles - just a majestic bird!
How lucky you are to have the eagles nearby! Love the photos and the block.
Love eagles! We never see them here. Nice block too :)
I've never seen a bald eagle in the wild. How exciting!!!!
I love your fabric choices in that block!
My friend lives along the Fox River near Aurora and she watches the eagles with a telephoto lens from her house on the hill. I'm glad there are so many nesting places in the midwest for them.
These blocks are really nice - I love the strong design. And as usual, your choice of batiks really makes it sing! What a great shot of the eagle! I've never seen one, only pictures. It would be an awesome thing to actually see one. He looks fierce :*D
What fun to be able to watch eagles! Your block is beautiful as usual!
Your block is fabulous! Your not the only one who waited till the last minute. lol I still have mine to do. My plan was to work on it this evening.
WHAT? Halfway already? Have you slept? LOL
Great block , I just finished mine as well. I love seeing the Eagles , they are incredible birds.
We have a pair of eagles spending a lot of time on our lake shore this winter... I guess the ice fishermen must be leaving them frozen treats~
Love your jumping jack! Great use of fabrics!
There always seems to be something nifty going on at your river! Love the pic of the eagles. Such a majestic creature.
Your block is great. Absolutely in love with the fabric in the center square!
Great block! Beautiful bird! Lucky!
