Thank you for the pattern. I'll have to try it out. I absolutely love your little bluebird. And as for the back, How do you get everything trimmed to 1/4"? Yours looks so nice and neat. I'm not doing it right somehow and mine is really bad on the back.
Do you sew through the 1/4" seam line or only on the line to attach the new piece? Also, are the numbers on the patterns the order in which to add the pieces?? I wondered that last night.

Also, on your Tulip, all of those surrounding fabrics are just awesome! You have great taste!
