Make Something Special with This Graceful Hummingbird
It’s a Fun Project for Playing with Color!
This beautiful block is sure to impress regardless of what project you include it in. The graceful hummingbird can face either left or right and can be given dimension by creating gradations of value within the wing.
Choose between three block sizes and have fun deciding how to use the block. It will be lovely on the side of a tote or zipper bag. Finish it into a charming mini quilt. Incorporate it into another block. Add other blocks for a wall hanging. Or make several blocks for a quilt (you’ll find a free quilt pattern here).
For a more realistic look, create your hummingbird in traditional colors against a neutral background. Or make it any color you want and get creative with the background color and print style. You’ll find a lot of beautiful examples here to get you started.
