Follow the link above in BeeNana's post, it will take you to all three blocks that have been posted so far. The large center block costs $10 on her Etsy site if you want to get it, the others are free.

When I first looked I thought, I can't do this it applique.
But after reading everyone's remarks, I see there are different ways of doing applique, so I'm going to give it a try.

Thank you for sharing this site.

I love that fabric. It will be perfect. With all this talk I hope I don't start another project.....
What are you going to use for your background fabric?

It had fabrics from Me & My Sister Favorites, etc. Maybe it was for Florabund, I don't know.

I don't guess it matters that much since I will use what goes with my focal fabric which is Michael Miller Birds of Norway. I scrolled through collection after collection at several sites, including Fat Quarter Shop, and this is one of the few that had a design I liked and lots of colors.

Strange to have printed birds on a bird applique but I am hoping that I can get at least the flower pot center cut out of an area without prominently showing a bird.

I've also downloaded all the blocks, but I've been hesitant to start because I really love her fabric choices and haven't found the fabrics anywhere. Pam, please let us know how you like or not the dissolvable paper. I think you could also use the dissolvable foundation (paper piecing) paper that I saw for sale at Joannes....

It might be the same thing as far as I know. I got 5 yards and it's just a roll of 18" wide or so with no identifying package.

It's like a stiff non-woven interfacing.

Go back and try again. Sometimes if there is high traffic on the net you can't get it to download. Also you have to scroll backwards in her site to find the previous blocks for tweets.
She really has an outstanding site with lots of tips and visual help. I don't use her glue technique for applique but I think that she does an outstanding presentation.
Let us know if you continue to have trouble downloading.

I just tried to download the files again, but it still isn't working. :cry: :cry: :cry: I never have trouble downloading PDF files. All I'm getting is a gray screen, and the hourglass stays on for a little bit, goes off and the file states "Done", but there is nothing there. I'm so dissapointed. :-( :cry: I read another post and they couldn't get it to work either. I guess we're just out of luck. Enjoy the BOM everyone. I'll still try from time to time to download the files, but I guess I'll have to sit this one out. :cry: :cry: I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your blocks. :wink:

In regard to Pittsburg Pam's comment:
I think she leaves the blocks up for free for a given time and later charges for them. I have not done the blocks, but I have saved all of them, including block one.

Edited: I have saved the blocks but not the center block. I misread PP's comment, and after I re-read the information I have saved, I realized my mistake. Sorry!!
