And my 2nd finish for 2008! Don't worry - I've been working on this quilt off and on for 2 years now! I just took the time to quilt it over Christmas and the New Year holidays! And I still have to hand sew down the binding on the back. But I say it is done anyway!
This is an old block called Darting Birds. See the birds flying in the top picture. Why do I call it Men At Work? Flip the quilt - do you see the men!

I love the quilt Dawn! I've never seen that block before but it's wonderful and gives a lot of movement to the quilt.
WOOO HOOOO! Way to go. Another beauty.
Wonderful Dawn!!! It is very old-fashioned looking! Happy New Year my friend!
Looks great! I am so excited for you that you can put this one on your finished list. Can't wait to get something substantial finished at my house!
Just beatiful Dawn! And well done with the finish! I myself finished two UFO's today - what a great feeling!
Great job!! Lovely the way your quilting accents your quilt. Congratulations on your finish!

Hurray!!! It's name brings a giggle to me...remember that googly-eyed guy from the '80s group?!? ;-)
I remember when you first debuted this work-in-progress to us. It's been 2 years already?! Well done!!!
Wow - another one I'd love to do. 2 finishes already . . . at this rate you'll have 183 things ticked off your list at this time next year - you ROCK! *S*
How very beautiful, I have never seen this pattern before.
Is that your smiling face in the photo? Nice to 'see' who you actually are!
The quilt turned out VERY nice - it has such a graphic quality to it, plus has an old-fashioned look to it. Great job, girl!
Awesome!

Way to go, Dawn! It's great - someday I'll have to work on mine. :-)
Congrats on an awesome quilt. I like the two ways, men or birds.
I like very much the market bag too. I have just been using furnishing fabric for a project too! Browsing at all kind of fabrics to use for quilting is something I enjoy a lot. Take care.
Wow, what a lovely quilt! Congrad on a completion! It's sweet! I love the colours! Thanks for sharing!
It's just lovely Dawn -- and yes, I can see the men, how appropriate for the land of the never ending road construction!
