What a pretty heifer! Dearest Boy final block!

 Tada!  Here is our final block for our quilt-along, "Dearest Boy."  She is a really a heifer of great vanity.  She really wondered, for this pose, if she should wear her plain halter and bow, or
A flower necklace!  For dignity's purpose, she chose her plain halter.  She still knows she is cute!!!!



The top is coming together, as this is the final block of the center!!!!




What fun it has been to sew with friends...please see the following blogs to see their heifers, or whatever block they are working on!!!

Ah, gee, I was going to vote for the flowers! It reminds me of Ferdinand the Bull who enjoyed his flowers (yes I know a heifer is a girl). So maybe it's Elsie in the Barn ... (I'm showing my age!)

Oh I liked those flowers too--did she travel to Hawaii to get that lei?? She could be deemed a "Hula Heifer" lol hugs on a lovely work Julierose

Done! I like the addition of the flowers. My gal is just Plain Jane. I know you are like me....feeling relief that the cow block is actually done.

Cathy said...

She's adorable. I especially like the bow on her tail.

You've done a terrific job on your blocks! Love that cow!!

Chantal said...

Omg! You did two! They are little darlings. I love the flowers because it looks like her Sunday's best attire. She knows she has to be pretty if she's going to be on a quilt. Great job, Julie. ;^)

The flowers are such a fun, whimsical touch, but that is thoughtful of you to consider the good cow's dignity. :)
