BirdHouse quilt ---I taught this quilt class as a "Swap-A-Block" in a local quilt shop. It was lots of fun. Nine people participated, we each made 9 blocks. Our nine blocks were all the same. We met for a full day class and exchanged blocks. Lunch was included with the class. Many of my quilts I have re-designed to make large enough to fit a king size bed. That was the case with this one as well. I added the birdhouses around the edge, along with the piano key border and plain outside border to increase the size. This class was so well received that I taught it more than one time. A word of caution though, after a bad experience I had taking a similiar class elsewhere, the students for these quilts were hand picked. Not everyone makes square blocks using good grade fabrics!! I use my "bad exerience" blocks as show and tell as what "not to do" when I teach a class like this one.
