Catching up with some yellow flamingos

Catching up on the RSC 2015 with these two silly yellow flamingos.
Click on images to see the cool fabrics...
The one on the left is about 4" by 5", the one on the right about 7" by 4" and both made totally from the scrap bin from stuff like this....
lots of leftover water fabrics from a couple ocean quilts. If it makes me giggle, it comes home with me!
And these teensy scraps of fish staring at me screamed out to peek around flamingo legs.

Great flamingos; and I love the fish.

Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafe said...

I knew this was yours, just from the pic of the fishy, you have an incredible stash of fun fabrics.

Kaja said...

Your stash must be awesome - you always seem to have just the right little scrap for these birds.

Skootchover said...

Absolutely LOVE those fish. What a great find to work into this project. They seem so surprised!

Fallingladies said...

So cute, they could be addictive i guess!

Each time you show another set of flamingoes I say, "This is the cutest!" (So fickle.) I cannot wait to see them all in one quilt. Adorably clever.

Tu-Na Quilts said...

I agree with Kaja above....your stash must be impressive. Love those little fish peeking around the legs. I bet you can sew these flamingoes without the pattern pieces by now.

These flamingos of yours always make me smile Leeanna! I love the fabrics you used. Particularly the fishies peeking around the flamingo's legs.

LA Paylor said...

HA! I can barely sew them WITH the pattern!

You have too much fun with your fabric (if that is possible)!!

Love all your fun fabrics. The fish are great!

scraphappy said...

The faces on those fish makes me giggle too. What a fun addition to an already fabulous block.

Val's Quilting Studio said...

LOL!! Oh you made my day! Love your creativity! So fun those little fishes are!

Nell's Quilts said...

What a great stash you have to dig into and find all those whimsical little bits. Such fun to check out each and every block.

Sheila said...

They are just toooo cute! I love them. Adorable prints, too.

PaulaB quilts said...

Those spotted flamingos are fun, but those spots must be scaring the fish, who might just attack. Be careful, birdies. You are too cute to perish.

Anja @ Anja Quilts said...

Your flamingos are adorable. I love how you used the fish print. Great job!

Lynne Stucke said...

Again, your flamingos ALWAYS make me smile, and smile, and smile!!! Can you tell me where I might obtain the pattern????

LA Paylor said...

you don't list an email Lynne but the pattern is listed in the post. Sew Precise.

Angie said...

Love the 'mingos...and the fish!

gayle said...

Your peeky fishies made me squee. This is undignified in a woman my age... (Oh, well. Squee!!!)
I went hunting for the pattern, but looks like it isn't available anymore.

LA Paylor said...

oh, I thought I saw the cd on Amazon... it's software that you can size yourself.
It is old... LeeAnna

Sally Trude said...

Yup. The fish biting at the flamingo feet are adorable.

Cathy said...

Ditto what Sally T said.

Wonderful fishy fabric in the large size flamingo block!! Amazingly small flamingo there on the left - don't know how on earth you managed to sew those tiny pieces!
