Beautiful! How big will you make this? I just love tradional block patterns, and yours look perfect around the bird.

I saw another pic of either this one or a similar quilt posted somewhere earlier...really beautiful start! Thanks for sharing the names of the blocks - I had wondered if the bird was the state bird. Please post pictures of the finished quilt...and thanks for sharing!!
