I just finished my first block of Bird Song. It is really the second part of row one. My friend Jeanne did the applique on the first part. I will share that with you when I sew the row together.
I like the red fabric with the black zigzag used for the wing. Gives it some pizzazz. I have had parts prepped for the applique for quite a while. I even started stitching but put the project away for some reason that I don't remember. Time to give it some attention. The background for the block is one of the Moda twills. A soft hand to it. The pattern was designed by Jan Patek.
And while I am stitching on this, I am prepping applique for my quilts. Never ending.
Check back with me again for further progress.

Another lovely block Karen!!
Beautiful! Love all the quilts you do !
I loved those twills - wish they would do some again, they are perfect for the stash *s*
Oooo! fun! Oh and love that bunny too! :)
Karen, I have that same kit! I've even been thinking about it lately, and wondering where I put it, because it was almost done. It was actually my first applique project. Now you've put me on a mission to dig it up.
OH! I think my heart just stopped!
This has been on my must make list for years!!
Can't wait to watch your progress.
Thanks for making my night *smile*
LOVE the wing fabric - this is really pretty!!
I love this block, Karen--and the zigzag wing is such a pleasantly unexpected touch!
Karen,
Your wing fabric was truly inspired! Love it. Like the way you used that Moda twill for the background. I love that fabric, but could only imagine a tote bag or something. Perfect use for a background here, though. Good work.
You are amazing. You always have something new to show.
Question, any idea where to get some of the zigzag fabric? I have been looking for some to use in the Liberty quilt pattern by Jan Patek and so far no luck.
As always, I look forward to your next blog.
