Post your Bird of Paradise pics here. Can't wait to see all of them.

My July block

I love your Block!! :thumbup: You did a fantastic job making it. I haven't started on mine yet, but now I feel more motivated than ever!! :D Thank you so much for sharing with us today!!
:D :D :D :D

Beautiful block.

thank you sulabug, not sure if the orange will go with the rest of the blocks, will have to wait and see.

Come on ladies, this is an easy one, lets see those pictures!

Oh, that is pretty.

Here is my July block.
I really like it with the black background, though I haven't used it for any of the other blocks. Might have to make another one with a lite background, will have to wait and see.

fun2quilt, that is so awesome! I love the black.

where does one get the bom pattern?

hope the attached works. if not go to BOM on the bottom of the page, look for 2010 BOM
Each month has two links, one for information and the link to the pattern, the second link for each month will state pictures.

Hope that helps, look forward to seeing your blocks.

thanks a lot, been reading for a while, but joined the chat Sunday

Welcome aboard!!

here is my July block. i'll do it again later in a different color set to make it more like a flower. this rendition goes into a patriotic quilt i'm working on.

beautiful!

A perfect example of how color placement changes the whole look of a block.

You're right, brushandthimble, the colour placement really changes things. Nice blocks, everyone.

Looking at Patrice's makes me think of the 54 40 or fight block.

Those are gorgeous!!!!

Nice blocks!

Here'a a picture of my July BOM. Had fun with this...I drew it in EQ6 and then paper pieced it.

It always amazes me how different the "same" block looks when made with different fabrics.

I like them all.

That is a beautiful block, I might have to try this one :D . God bless. Penny

here's mine

Love it!

JanieW,
Great job, love the look without the traditional 4 patch in the corner!

Here is my Bird of paradise quilt. I used this pattern to make my granddaughters quilt.

Donna I just love your quilt. I think this is the first time anyone has shown one of the blocks done in a full quilt. Gorgeous !!! Purple being my favorite color doesn't have anything to do with it either LOL Thanks for sharing

the border is really awesome a well!
great choices!

LOVING IT!!!!! How did you do the border??

I just used a lunch plate and made a circle sewed around the circle and then cut in half turned right right out and then sewed them on the binding alternating each color....easy as pie. Thank you for all the nice compliments

Donna

Where's everyone's July blocks? I know it is vacation time for alot of you, but what about the rest of you?

What a pretty quilt Donna!!! Perfect for a little girl!!

Well, here's my July block. Still struggling with this paper piecing but it was easier than some of the others! LOL :lol:

I have not chosen fabrics yet, wasnt in the mood all week to
sew. But am always planning. I just need to get something
DONE. finished and not in progress! i did move some stacks
but i need to get back to my office as my main computer will be
here next week. and the new printer has to be set up, the
area has to be cleaned up, filing needs doing oh I think you all get the picture-LOL

Lizzydripping, great job! love the colors.

Very pretty, I love black in a quilt more and more

Your quilt is awesome, love the colors. I know your granddaughter is very proud of it.

Thanks so much. I don't find putting colours together easy so am always pleased to hear that someone thinks it's ok!

May I be your granddaughter? Her quilt is gorgeous! Wow, I bet she LOVES it.

I must compliment all who have posted their Bird Of Paradise blocks. They are all just lovely.

What beautiful fabrics you all have used, and I love the pattern. I just might have to try that. GREAT blocks.
