Birdie Stitches block of the month January 2011

I started and finished my first block for the Birdie Stiches block of the month. Very cute block and fun to do. I had a lot of 2 1/2" squares I had bought off ebay a few years back. They are fabrics from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Really wanted to buy new fabric but could not justify the expense. I must use up my stash first. I followed the sample, but after seeing the flicker posts I will try veering from the samples a bit.

I had a lot of fun with this block and I have already started piecing and preparing for the next month. Can't wait to see what comes next!!
