    WOW!! :thumbup: Another great Spring Birdhouse. I love the added leaves you put on yours. By this time, of each month, I always think I need to remake my blocks & add some of these neat additions!! Thank you for sharing.

    Here is my Spring Birdhouse. I tried to change the top but it didn't turn out very good. Plan on making a different block. I love the way the BOM pushes me to try different methods of making blocks. This is my first attempt at applique. I was really putting off doing the applique and it was alot easier than I thought it would be.

    I think this would work very nicely if the middle third were also sky blue and maybe the lower third green, like bushes in the background - or all the background sky.

    all of the bird houdes are really great. Here is mine. I donot know why my camers turns them on their side or upside down. I think they look better in reality than in the pictures. The roof really stands out.
    Your birdhouse is adorable!

    Please, please don't shoot me for changing this month's house a bit...while I loved the idea of birdhouses, I still needed to keep it similar to my other blocks as DH thinks he needs this as a quilt for him when done! LOL! So it took a LOT of thinking of how I could stay true to the birdhouse theme and still make the block fit for my quilt...this is what I came up with...

    I love your cardinals!! I'm planning on having cardinals on my block, too! Mine will be a winter scene -- after all, it sure seems like winter is in absolutely NO hurry to leave us here in Michigan!! :evil:

    BTW: just in case I haven't done so already: welcome to the QB from southeastern Michigan!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
