And so the story goes, I was at quilt retreat last weekend and one of the gals has been carrying a quilt project around in her chair for at least 8 years! The block was named after a bird...although it is pieced. Over the years she referred to it as her flippin bird project. I suggested we choose a project we have that we'll never finish because we are soooo over it and pass it around with each person adding their take on the project. The projects would by no means look like they were originally intended but you would take the pieces and make up a row or border, any fabric would be passed with it or you could add some of your own...well for the first pass...I ended up with the Flippin' Birds....I must have done something wrong in my previous quilt life!

Do you have a photo you can post? Would love to see your Flippin Birds :))))
sass

Laughing here! I can only imagine Flippin' Birds! You must take a picture and let us all see .... Happy flying!

When I think of flipping birds, I don't think of a quilt !!
HaHa.....got to see this project !!

Yes yes we have to see the flippin birds LOL

oh how fun.....is it the birds in the air block?

do show us a pix...

I want to see, please....

I think that you have my luck. I would have ended up with it. :? Please take a picture of it and let us see. :wink:

Yes, yes, show us a picture!
And share what you are adding to it!

LOL did you at least donate your UFO to some one else. Hehehehe

I think orginally it was called a bird block because of the flying geese...but my friend...after so many years called it the flippin birds! lol She gave me a pile of blocks and partially made blocks so I'll post a photo of what I did in a couple of weeks when I finish my portion of the project! As for what I passed on...Kaffe Fassett diamonds...never put together...yuck.

Too funny! I can't wait to see it!!!

Funny! Let your imagination run wild.

Gotta love that name!! Anything goes, right?

that sounds like a great time

i bet you will have fun with it show your pics when you are done

I was wondering how your pass along project went. That was a great idea! Any luck getting inspired for those Flippin' Birds?
