Okay everyone, the last BOM was a dilly, so I figured we will keep it easy for this one. This was my original idea for the BOM I just choose the last one for the forth. Silly me. This one is to go with the Cat BOM from last month. As Usual, Let's Have Some Fun..... :D :D :D

Yay! I've been checking all day for the new BOM! I love the bluebird block but mine won't be blue. Have to stay withing my BOM quilt colors. Let's see: yellow bird or pink? Any suggestions?

DonnaRae

Hmmmm, bird yellow or pink, yellow or pink, thinking..... okay how about yellow canary? :D

Yellow is what I was thinking too.

Have you started your block yet? I saw that its calculated for a 7.5in block. Has anyone recalculated for a 12.5in block? It would really help my poor brain.

patricej

she tells you how to make it as a 10" (finished) block. do that, then add a 1" border all the way around. voila! a 12" finished block. :P

i can't post a pattern or instructions for this one. i haven't found any proof yet that it's in the Public Domain.

We can still post photos of the blocks we make from her instructions. That should be ok.

DonnaRae

Actually arn't the instructions for a 7.5 inch block? I did not qute understand what the instructions meant about the 2 in and 1.5 inch grid.. Or am I reading it wrong?

This is a really cute block DonnaRae. I wouldn't put birdie too close to the kitty block though...birdie may end up a quilted snack :wink: :D

DonnaRae

Well maybe someone will pick a birdhouse BOM for the bird to hide in. :D

DonnaRae

I have my picture up. Nothing special. Very basic. Isnt any one else doing the BOM besides us? I understand the last block, but this one is kinda easy. I did not think it was not going to line up when I sewed the last seams but somehow it did. :shock:

DonnaRae

I forgot to mention, in Tutorials Shelly did a tute on how to do the triangles for sew and flip in case someone needs it. I should have mentioned it in the beginning of this. Sorry.......
