🎜🎜School days, school days (insert record scratch sound)🗲🗲 Well, some sort of school days anyway. At least we have a new block to look forward, too. Plus, it's another easy, peasy block!
Inspired by their gracious flight, unique and sometimes vibrant color, I chose birds to guide us in our challenge this year. To see the full year in preview read the 2020 Monthly Color Challenge Announcement.
This month our bird is a duck, the Cinnamon Teal. Ducks are awesome creatures. I love sitting at the lake and watching the families of ducks swim by, those ducklings are crazy little things. The ruddy color of the Cinnamon Teal is the perfect background for the touch of blue on the underside of it's wings.

We can get a few more facts about the Cinnamon Teal at All About Birds. Make sure to head over and listen to it's call. It sounds like an old man snoring to me, I'd love to hear what you think of it.
The Cinnamon Teal's beak is slightly longer and wider than most duck bills.
You can find the Cinnamon Teal in interior western North America.
The female Cinnamon Teal hides her nest so well you can't even see it from above, and gets to it through hidden trails.
Make sure to click on the link about to find out more about this fabulously colored duck and listen to see if you think it's sounds like a snoring man, too.
Now for September's block. It's another easy block this month, and I think we all deserve it!
The instructions include a How To video, especially for the Color Challenge participants.
This year I am offering instructions for making the background the same throughout with a neutral. You can download the yardage amount and instructions HERE.

Watching ducks brings a calmness to life, doesn't it? It's good to just sit and watch them paddling around on the water. I'd love to see a cinnamon teal in the wild!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful, wish I didn't have so much on my plate right now, would love to make it. Maybe later.
