and @susansinthegarden on Instagram

This was my quick mock up blue version...with a  turned wing to see what it would look like.  

And then this super creative idea!

So many possibilities with this pattern...but this barn block!!  It has me chirping!

If you are interested in a similar Redwing Blackbird wooden barn quilt block...or maybe as a yellow finch or bluebird...contact Melissa at Fiddlestitches  her work is top notch! 

I wanted mine a bit distressed with a cream background...but you could have yours brighter if you like.   

She should have some available soon.

If you are looking for the Redwing Blackbird quilt pattern...you'll find mailed and instant download copies in My Etsy Shop

Thanks for stopping in!  Have a wonderful week!

PS... i'll leave you with this ...another August yum

Great variation to my Redwing Blackbird pattern!

Diane did wonders putting these birds together in her own fashion! 

She used a rich gold background (from the Andover Cloverdale House collection), vertical checkerboard to separate the rows of birds and added appliqued vines with leaves, berries and stars. 

She's such an over achiever!!!  Lol

Diane pieced the left over redwing half square triangles together to create the final border.

Here's a look at my original....or visit my Redwing Blackbird blog post for more pictures.

Redwing Blackbirds~~New Pattern

Announcing a new pattern!  Redwing Blackbirds!

I actually have a confession to make.  A variation of these birds are in my upcoming pattern called 'And So it Crows'. I had so much fun making them, i veered off course a bit and came up with this first! 

Quick to make!  Once you make one Redwing Blackbird, you'll fly through the others!  Wall hanging size 40" x 38"

They are whimsical and fun!  A few birds are found standing on top of each other while some sit and relax on the comfort of another's back.

I played around with color and made a couple blue birds...

I Googled the species and come up with this picture

Okay, okay, mine don't look like the real thing...but then again, they are not real. Lol

Let's give these blue birds a hand! 

I purposely changed the direction of the sitting bird's tail (above)  from the written pattern, just to see how it looks.  I like it a lot.  It's kind of fun to play around and change it up a bit!

Pattern available now!  You'll find it on Craftsy and Etsy!
