Scarecrow 7 & 8

 I have finished rules 7 & 8 and also have sewn them to the previous sections.  I have pretty good starts on 9 & 10 so , hopefully will have them ready in the near future.   The scarecrow in rule 8 is paper pieced.  I had the fabric with the scene of sky and house so I wanted to use it as bg.  I continued the tree from the previous block that was on the left.  Lots of summer sunshine!  The tree trunk is pieced with the bg fabric and the branch is applique.  Bird is fussy cut.  The illusion block is kinda big and sits out in the middle of nowhere.  lol.
