Block #19 - Character Quilt - Duck and Goose

Well, here I am again with Block #19.  Meet Duck and Goose:  




Duck and Goose (original)

Duck and Goose have to work at getting along. You see, Duck doesn’t much care for Goose at first, and Goose isn’t fond of Duck. But both want the egg that each claims to be his. As the two tend to their egg, and make plans for the future, they come to appreciate one another’s strengths. And when a bluebird points out that it isn’t really an egg—it’s a polka dot ball—the two are not dismayed. After all, it is a lovely ball.


The above picture kept bothering me because it was so "white".  I decided (with a little suggestion from the designer) to extend the grass and "detail" it a little to help offset the "block-i-ness" of the picture and add more texture and depth.  It helped quite a bit.  Here is the "new and improved" block....
