OK, laughing is allowed here. You may not recognize it, but this is the birdhouse block. :-D First, I wanted to paper piece it. Then I decided to make it smaller, and then one thing led to another. Moral of the story....Stick To The Pattern!! I might add some birds in the sky, or maybe a tractor or horse in the field................

Looks good to me. Surely there are birds lurking in the tree who need a new home ;) ;) ;)

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

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.
