OMGoodness!! :thumbup: Another great Spring Birdhouse block. I love the birds that you applique'd, too. I think you did a very good job. I am getting excited for the May block to come out. It won't be to long now!!
:D :D :D :D

WOW!! :thumbup: You did very good & don't worry about someone shooting you for changing it!! :D That is one thing that is so wonderful about the BOM. The blocks are for us & we can make them anyway we want to. Keep up up the great work. I love the three birdhouses you have added.
:D :D :D :D

Bout time I got my birdhouse finished, it's been half done for awhile but just couldn't get the motivation to do the applique!

I have a love hate relationship with applique - love it when someone else does it, hate it when I do it .....

Anyhow here it is, I did change the roof as well!
