Black and White Darting Birds Against a Blue Sky

This version of the Darting Birds quilt block was used for a (now finished) Quilting Forum swap. Change the fabrics in any way you like.

Finished Darting Birds Quilt Block: 6" square

Darting Birds Fabric Choices

For each block, you'll need only two fabrics:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
