Birds of a Feather Block 1

My evening hand work these past couple of weeks has been block one of the 'Birds of a Feather' quilt by Blackbird designs. I have had this book for years, don't know why it has taken me so long to actual start the quilt! The fabrics all came from my stash, some are also years old, and I only have scraps of several of them. I love pink, green and yellow quilts, and have made several over the years. I wasn't sure about the green leaves to begin with, but I will add lots of green to the other blocks too. I also took considerable liberties with the placement diagram!

Lots of lovely whimsical applique...
A bit of nifty piecing...


And block one is complete...
