I agree with Bonnie think attic windows would be perfect to show case the birds

I like your arched top idea since they are not square. have fun, good luck.

My first thought was to do them in large oval frames but it doesn't look like they are all the same size? Sashing or Attic Windows sound pretty and so does your curved top. Pretty blocks!

I vote Attic Windows
with fabric that looks like windows.

snowball design using the rectangle pictures instead of squares.

The blocks are lovely. I was thinking, a narrow,like 1 inch border of red marbled fabric around each block and then strip it together with a narrow black fabric. I would think the colors would make the birds pop from so much white.

Wild thought here...... If you make the bird squares into a snowmall, maybe you could alternate with the "54-40 or fight" block. That would sort of make it like a "Tennessee Waltz" quilt. Just an idea..... BTW, they sure are pretty birds!

I would alternate the blocks with some form of quilt block to help tone down the white.If you are brave you could tea dye the white to tone it down too.

I have purchased this panel twice, so I must really like it. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
