Black and White Darting Birds Against a Blue Sky
This is one of two versions of the Darting Birds quilt pattern that you'll find on About.com Quilting, and the pattern to use if you're participating in our Forum's October, 2008 Beginner Block Lotto.Finished Darting Birds Quilt Block: 6" square
Be sure to follow the discussion in the forum and to read all rules before you make quilt blocks for the event.
Block Lotto Fabric Choices
For each block, you'll need only two fabrics:
- One blue tone-on-tone print (or batik or hand dye) that is a believable SKY blue color for the background; this fabric should contain blues only.
- One black and white print for the bird's body; this fabric should contain no other colors -- black and white only
If you are making multiple blocks, each block must contain a unique combination of black and white and blue fabrics. You can repeat fabrics as long as each combination is unique.
