Everyone's blocks are looking great!! Here is mine. I "kinda" cheated :shock: I did mine all applique so the house is a bit smaller. I didn't mean to do that but I had already cut the house so I had to take away a couple of the roofing. But here it is. It was fun to do! Thanks for choosing this one!

I sat down to start my block this afternoon and before I knew it I'm almost done. Still have to attach roof and finish the birds. I don't think the camera picked up the lavender backround it was coming up yellowish(???).

Anyway, thanks again Qbee for finding us such a pretty block.

Thank you SulaBug.

Birdie on the left is a Female King Parrot and birdie on the right is a Rainbow Lorikeet.

Here's a pic of a King that visits my garden and my son's Olive Rainbow.

Glitch - the pics didn't download and I couldn't edit or post.

Seems to be working now - I will try again.

Aww, all the bird houses are so nice. Deecee I think yours is fantastic, so lovely with the wattle and birds. Well done!

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm looking forward to seeing as many inventive birdhouses as we had red barns.

LOL I had to do that--I got him a little higher than I meant to. He would have been floating. But I like it! :-)

Love, love the birdhouse block......we feed the birds all year...in summer we have tons of cone flowers and also sun flowers.....so put some on my block....still need to do some hand stitching,the lavender cone flower barely show...the birdhouse fabric has very pale blue flowers which does not show up well, but is very pretty fabric

sally's girl 04-05-2011 06:07 AM

What a fun block! Thank you QBee! Mine is going to be the front panel of a summer tote, so the background is the same as the rest of the tote.

Just saw the picture with the flowers and I really want to try to add those also. Very nice idea!!
