With warm weather, I’ve been in the yard daily getting fresh air and sunshine. The noise can be quite chirpy with all the birds flying around! And I’ve watched all the baby birds, from blue birds, cardinals to sparrows, hopping and flying about as they learn to test their wings. As I sit or stand still, they get a little closer allowing me to watch a little better. With birds on my mind, I thought I would show you the quilts I’ve designed that focus on birds. With these, you can bring birds inside to enjoy. These patterns are all available in my Etsy Whimsycolor shop.
This first quilt pattern, Bird on a Limb, uses pieced quilt blocks. This quilt can use your scraps for a scrap quilt. This quilt is made with 20 blocks and is 64″ wide x 76″ high. It is easy to adjust the size if you want a larger or smaller quilt. You can also use the blocks to make a table runner or pillows.
This pattern, Spring Arrival, uses applique blocks and is made with 2 different blocks. One block has 2 baby birds in a nest and the other block is the mama bird holding a worm for her babies. You can also use your scraps for the applique pieces. The size is 58″ x 70 1/2″. You can also easily adjust the size to make it smaller or larger as well as creating other items with the blocks.
I also have a hummingbird block pattern for applique. I’m showing this block in 2 color combinations. The finished size of this block is 9″ x 9″. Use it alone to create your quilt or other project, or combine it with other blocks.
I would love to see your quilt project if you use one of these patterns!
I hope you take the time to listen to all the chirps!
