My block exchange for this month likes birds. One type. What type of block do I make? Should it have a bird apliqued on it? Should I cut up the bird and use him as half squares? I just don't know. This will be my third block exchange, but I don't want to just do a really simple block. HELP My other exchange I know what to do, but this bird has me stumped.

I think there was a Bird block by Pam Bono in a recent issue of The Quilter magazine. I check and let you know.

Here's a couple sites that I found that have birds.

Good Luck!!!

I'm pretty sure there are some bird blocks on quilterscache.com.

Thanks, I will check these sites out. I have checked but just couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the help. I will let you know what I find out.

Try some of Pam Bono's at http://www.Pambonodesigns.com.

That hummingbird was really cool from this site http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/3961.asp. I wouldn't try it I'm not that experienced yet. But someday when I grow up...hope it doesn't take too long.

Oh go ahead and try it!!! Just do a "dry run" one, a practice piece, and you'll see you can do it. Just take your time, and follow the directions.

lol, if you knew - what all i've gotten myself into already you wouldn't be egging me on.

lol. It's like I'm in a candy store and I want it all.

I would applequie it on, sorry for the spelling. then you could do a little thread work on it, or put a little extra batting behind the bird to make it 3d. Penny
