Have you ever seen an orange or red jay? Neither have I. We do have a couple of mountain blue jays that hang around though. They're super loud and aggressive. In fact, they terrorize my cat by dive bombing at him. So much so, that he takes cover. It really is a sight.
If you'd like to make your very own "walk this way" mini, you can find the jay pattern here.
Thank-you all for the the comment love on my process photos for the "origami" mini quilt and for your support and tips regarding my lower fibre diet. Things are going really good! No relapses. I just have to be sure and delete the sale emails I get. I'm still a little too tender, I'm afraid, to open the email and un-subscribe. I'm really scared I'll see some sexy fabric and go crazy. So deleting the emails is working good for me for now.
Happy rest of your weekend!

I'm telling you... it's a "traceyjay" and her brood. ;)

and good job on the fabric diet... I'm staying strong too (though I did sell a baby quilt, and I think I might use the proceeds for some fabric). ;)

The jays are so darn cute, Penny...I can see a quilt with an entire flock of rainbow-colored jays. Also, congrats on keeping strong with your no-buy fabric pledge; I am inspired to join you...but then I see the most wonderful print...sigh.

There is always more cute fabric to buy. I have recently returned to quilting after an almost 10 year absence due to moving, illness, and graduate school. I bought a little fabric over that time. But the last few months has been a feast of new pattens and color. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and more apreciative. Love the pieced birds, too cute!

Very cute Jays -- although, the red one is probably a cardinal LOL!
