This sweet bird block provides several design options and can be used in many types of projects. Incorporate it into a quilt, pillow cover, bag, or banner, or finish it off into a potholder or mini quilt.

Choose between two block sizes and whether the bird faces left or right. Include a heart, a star, or neither, or make two blocks with a heart between the birds. Coloring pages are included to help you design your block.

Potholders showcase the blocks beautifully and will make lovely gifts. The birds are darling in any color combination. We’d love to see a winter version with a red bird.

Notice the charming big-stitch hand quilting on the version made by Mary Kolb.

Paper piecing is used to create the blocks. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.

Designer Jitka Clement provides instructions for 6″ and 8″ finished blocks.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
