I'm addicted to checking to see what everyone is doing! Love the designs and creativity that everyone brings to these little blocks. I'm a very "stay within the lines" person when it comes to piecing, but you all are inspiring me to edge outside the lines a little. I love it!

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!

Great changes to your Spring Birhouse!! :thumbup: You did a nice job with your applique' too. I really like the soft colors of spring that you chose to use.
:D :D :D :D

I did a bit of a rush job on this one :oops:
I don't like it when I get behind a month :hunf:
Stitching around the dresden top will be what I do before I put it with the rest of the blocks.

Just finished this months star also. :-D

Nice! Both of them.

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 ;) ;) ;)

pab58 04-22-2011 08:14 AM

So clever of you to add a fence! I love that idea!! :thumbup:

Another great Spring Birdhouse!! :thumbup: You ladies are just amazing me at the lovely ideas you are coming up with. This is truly a great block!! Thank you for sharing today.

Really cute. You do nice work!

Love the kites in the sky! Your block is so fun and has so much bright character!
Love 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.


Corky 04-22-2011 11:59 AM

Really cute!!

Sometimes you just go with what happens, right? You block is great and I'm sure there are some birds hanging around in that green foliage there!

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

I went to check your birdhouse block out, we used the same blue fabric for our house!! How crazy is that!!!

I tried and tried to applique birds and could not get one that I liked so I machine embroidered the bird. It turned out ok.
