Birds A Quilt Block

August was Coreys month in the Ringo Pie patchwork bee,
and her theme was "Quilts on a line." I must admit that
I struggled for a while. It is such a great theme, but
I have never hung my quilt on a line once before, so it was
a bit hard for me to be inspired by the theme. Totally my bad!
So instead of hanging quilts from a line tied to trees, I
decided to let birdies hold a quilt. Corey makes such
lovely things with bird appliques/embroidery, so I figuredshe wouldnt mind welcoming a few more birds to her house ;)
(have you seen this pillow she made? Unbelievably adorable!)

Making these houses was the funnest part!!
Each block is paper-pieced and is so teeny tiny (a 1 5/8" square).
It was so much fun going through my stash to look for
fabrics with teeny prints, and of course I squealed
when I found the cute penguin of the perfect size!

Teeny Houses

So these houses are supposed to be birdhouses.
Those birdies are getting sick of their worn-out
birdhouses, so they are presenting a catalog of new, pretty
birdhouses for Corey in case she would consider
building new ones for them :)

Hmmm...

Corey may come to a conclusion that the blue bird
doesnt need a new birdhouse, because hes got an
antique sewing machine in his current birdhouse!
No new birdhouse can be better than that, right!!

Thank you for stopping by! I will be back in a few
days with more birds-related projects :D
