When I first looked I thought, I can't do this it applique.
But after reading everyone's remarks, I see there are different ways of doing applique, so I'm going to give it a try.

I love that fabric. It will be perfect. With all this talk I hope I don't start another project.....
What are you going to use for your background fabric?

It had fabrics from Me & My Sister Favorites, etc. Maybe it was for Florabund, I don't know.
I don't guess it matters that much since I will use what goes with my focal fabric which is Michael Miller Birds of Norway. I scrolled through collection after collection at several sites, including Fat Quarter Shop, and this is one of the few that had a design I liked and lots of colors.
Strange to have printed birds on a bird applique but I am hoping that I can get at least the flower pot center cut out of an area without prominently showing a bird.

I've also downloaded all the blocks, but I've been hesitant to start because I really love her fabric choices and haven't found the fabrics anywhere. Pam, please let us know how you like or not the dissolvable paper. I think you could also use the dissolvable foundation (paper piecing) paper that I saw for sale at Joannes....

It might be the same thing as far as I know. I got 5 yards and it's just a roll of 18" wide or so with no identifying package.
It's like a stiff non-woven interfacing.

I ordered Bella Solids in bleached white, 8 yards of it. Fat Quarter Shop has a sale on it with the code 'solids' so it's just $5.20 per yard. I thought of using a beige but I like the clear colors on the white that she is using.

She really has an outstanding site with lots of tips and visual help. I don't use her glue technique for applique but I think that she does an outstanding presentation.
Let us know if you continue to have trouble downloading.

In regard to Pittsburg Pam's comment:
I think she leaves the blocks up for free for a given time and later charges for them. I have not done the blocks, but I have saved all of them, including block one.

Edited: I have saved the blocks but not the center block. I misread PP's comment, and after I re-read the information I have saved, I realized my mistake. Sorry!!
