I'm thinking a shadow quilt, with frames on all four sides--two in a constant color and the other two picking up a color from each bird. Kind of double attic windows that look like a shadow box. Maybe green sashing. My mom had a shadow box with birds, so that's probably why I thought of this.

I've had blocks that were pictures and have done courthouse steps, log cabin around them & made them into sawtooth or Ohio stars. I just picked colors from the picture blocks. I have also seen sashing that the corners become stars.

I would sash with a sky blue rather than white, and do the 8 point stars in the corners of the sashing. My question would be in the quilting. They are gorgeous.

That's a GREAT idea!!! That's exactly what I'd do with these beauties! Please post again after you decide what to do with these, OK?

I am all about frame quilt blocks. I would find a block that has an area large enough to fit these guys!

Here are a couple of blocks from blog hops I have done.

Whatever you decide, it's going to be great!
