Bits of Blue and Birds

Loving birds as I do, you know they have to make an appearance in my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks once in awhile, right?!

After hunting around in my blues for this week's Tiny Tuesday block, I chose these three fabrics to make Cynthia's design.

Chickadees!

I liked the striped rectangles in the block Cynthia made, so I decided to borrow that idea for mine!


Now there are two June blocks!

That fan block makes me laugh every time I see it...
It may have to be redone!  :)

These robins are another favorite bird fabric - they found their way into a red, white, and blue tablerunner I'm working on.


And, of course, the leftover 2.5 inch squares fit right into my latest RSC squirrel! (Because you know when you invite birds into your yard sewing room, the squirrels will come, too, lol!)


This beautiful Great-Horned Owl has been hanging out in our backyard this week.  I think he's saying, "What are you doing out here?  Why don't you go sew?" I think I will!

Birds and squirrels -- teehee! Love your TT blocks. I need to catch up before I'm hopelessly behind. Great pic of the great horned owl. I hear an owl occasionally but have yet to see it.

Birds were the perfect choice for your TT blocks and also your table runner. I like that text fabric too!

How cool is that to look in your backyard and see this gorgeous owl! I like your bird tiny block, the stripes just add so much.

love your owl!! just do not see them often. I think all of your blocks are coming along nicely. I need to get my blue back out this week and get more of mine done

Love the bird fabric and the blocks! Those owls are so majestic, aren't they? So cool!

Louise said...

I love your little birdie fabrics!! I have a big stash of bird fabrics, too. Maybe we should do a swap :)

Lovely bits of dark BLUE, Diann!! The owl? He looks terrifying!

I just adore the way your little chickadees look in the corners of your Tiny Tuesday block. Great choice with the striped fabric, too.
I like how you gradually moved from dark blue to very light blue on your 25-patch squares.

So cute blocks! Love the bird fabric you have used. The bows in the grandmother's fan were difficult to sew, I was also struggling, and neither did I become perfectly perfect. :-)

Love the birds in your block for the week. That owl... he is a beauty to look at! The gradations in your blue blocks are stunning. Great job.

Laura said...

Always love the birds! The owl certainly is majestic; I hope he hasn't got an eye on a neighborhood kitty!

I love the stripes in Cynthia's cute little block, too!

Susie H said...

The owl told you to go sew? Perhaps that's how we know he's a wise bird! Your blocks are very pretty. I too love birds!

Angie said...

Love that chickadee fabric! There is a family of chickadees in my neighbors live oak tree. They love the feeder I have outside my kitchen window.
