Here's one of our blue birds in all his glory. Deborah did a great job designing this block. There's some piecing, some foundation paper piecing, some applique, and even a little three-D work - Check out the flowers. This block comes together really nicely. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

Hi All!

Here is my version of June's Block:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had so much fun making this block and I am really pleased with the results. My stitch in the ditch quilting even turned out. It was fun picking out the fabric too. I decided to use red for the birdhouse so it would look more like a barn and green for the background, which is the pasture behind the barn! Also I used seed beads for the birds eyes instead of french knots. Soo cute!! Here are the fabrics I used:

Background: FQ 2398 Dobby-Lt Fern Golden Afternoon

Barn: 10" Square 2413 Texture-Dk Pepper Golden Afternoon

Roof: FE 3539 Basketweave-Nut Brown Quilter's Candy Country

Pieced Section: 10" Square 2666 Mirage-Indigo Quilter's Candy Country

and 10" Square 3712 Stripe-Citrine-Batik Paradise

Post: 5" Square 2630 Vines-Weathered Wood Quilter's Candy Country

Hole: 5" Square 3773 Nest-Weathered Wood Birchtree Lane

Vine & Binding: FQ 2665 Mirage-Evergreen Quilter's Candy Country

Flowers: 5" Square 3699 Jungle-Beach Party & 5" Square 3711Stripe-Carnelian Batik Paradise

Birds: 5" Square 2543 Nebula-Celestial Batik Paradise

 

Have fun!!

I love it, Teri! I am seeing things. For your barn fabric, I read 'Dr Pepper'. I must be thirsty. Is it 10, 2 or 4?

ADORABLE!   This one is going to take me a little time given all the different techniques but I'm totally up for the challenge.  I just bought the pattern and printed it so when I head to the sewing room tonight I can read it from beginning to end and start sifting through fabric to see what I have that I can put togehter - but I MIGHT need to buy a couple of FQs (what a shame!) :)
