The first block is a woodpecker (cause of much sniggering in our house. Yes, we really are that mature.) My points are a little askew in places, but overall it came together really well. There are some incredibly tiny pieces in it, but the detail is just amazing. The fabric I used for the body is really fine cotton (almost like a lawn), so I don't have too much bulk where the seams meet. I've been working on this over the last few nights, and finally put it together tonight.
I'm looking forward to seeing the other blocks they design!

Gorgeous! It's making me wish I didn't suck so hard at paper piecing.

It looks great, looking forward to seeing them all come together :o)
This is brilliant! I checked out your links and I can't tell you how tempted I am to join in but I'm behind on bee blocks and over committed already so I'll just keep[ enjoying watching you :)
Jess, you're a rockstar! This is great, you chose perfect fabrics. Very nice!
Such a great block - makes me think of Woody Woodpecker from the cartoons:)
This looks great! I'm really impressed that all those little pieces ended up so sharp in your block. I have this one bookmarked for later once my paper piecing skills are up to it.
Fabulous!
That is so cute - I love the fabric you chose for the tree!
