There's a cute woodpecker on the wallhanging at this site:

I agree that it's cute, but mine are different. Just wait and see. ;-)

Well, I was thinking that since I like paper piecing that this would be an easy pattern to adapt. Then, I decided to make it smaller (maybe @25%) and put it on a fence. Maybe I'll add a tree to the right. Don't expect to see this anytime soon. :shock: This is all just an idea at this point.

Just back from Sister's PC- easy to download and print! Dear Whitepine - Do like your idea of pp with additional applique - this block needs some serious thinking! That's what it's all about.

Love your idea and I think your on to something good..So are the birdies going to be appliqued on top after the pp is done then?

Yes, the birdies would be appliqued. I haven't figured out the fence yet, but if we can do the railing around the farmhouse, the fence should be easy. Same sort of concept. In the pictures section there are two other (deecee and nickylsf) who also paperpieced but with peaked roofs.

Oops! Forgot the hole and platform. Here are corrected versions of the two page instructions.
