The lovely block called Birdbath caught my eye on Hyacinth Quilt Designs, but it is originally from a book called The Practical Guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman. This block will feature on the back of my Birds in the window quilt.
Here I have 2 new birdbath blocks with different bird fabrics. I am using a mixture of solids and prints as the borders.
A pink one -
An orange one -
A threesome - in a triangle formation
A foursome - in a square formation -
And in a cross or circle formation with square in the middle -
In my previous post I mentioned that there will be a lot of background between these blocks - it is supposed to be the back of the quilt after all - and I asked for suggestions for the background colour. Both Mary and Katie suggested pink....but looking at these formations I am not so sure there will be any background....
What shall I do now? Make more of these addictive blocks of course!! Haha laughing madly all the way to the cutting board and sewing machine....?
Whatever, I am sure there is more room for pink - thanks Mary and Katie!
Loving the pink one! I think a neutral or green background would work to set off the colours of all the different blocks.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm back in town! What a cute set of blocks!! more! More!!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are adorable! I like the light green background. It seems to complement all the block colors well.
