I am so thrilled to be part of the QuiltMaker’s 100 Block Blog Tour once again! I was doubly thrilled when I saw the magazine and realized that my Home Tweet Home block was among the blocks chosen to be on the cover! I’m happy you’re here and let’s get started…oh and don’t forget at the end of the post you can comment for a chance to win a copy of 100 Blocks Volume 7 (I have two to give away) and one lucky winner will win a signed copy of my book, Little Quilts For Big Occasions.
My block is #628 in the magazine.
I thought you might like to see how I came up with the block design and also see the wall hanging I designed in a different color scheme to go along with it.
Here is the highly technical sketch of my design!
I use a sketch book and colored pencils to get an idea of what I want the block to look like and which colors I think will go nicely with it. I don’t always stick to the original sketch though. The project usually grows from that original to something similar but not exact. In this case, it was pretty close.
I took the sketch to my fabric stash and chose these pieces to create the block.
The next step was to create the templates that would be used in the design.
I am huge fan of fusible applique and I use it in almost all of my quilts. Here the design is being built. Once I have all the pieces, I head to the ironing board to fuse them down and then start stitching around the appliques with a blanket stitch.
I added some buttons as embellishments and here is the final block and a closer view of the details.
Our family has two parakeets so I was happy to work on a block that featured sweet little birdies.
When I thought about making a wall hanging using the block, I went right back to my sketch book…
I knew I wanted to try the block with muted colors just to see how it would come out! Turns out, I absolutely love it! This quilt can be seen in the Designer’s Gallery section of the magazine.
And here’s a closer look at the detail.
I hope you have enjoyed this stop on the blog tour and I encourage you to visit all of the designers on the tour this week! There are chances to win at each stop and a grand prize at the end of the week. Click here to visit the QuiltMaker blog to see a list of all the participating blogs and a chance to win the grand prize.

Oh gosh, I keep a project journal, too…with sketches of layouts, and dimensions, and fabrics used, etc. Mine don’t ever turn out as fantastic as yours, though…LOL! That’s okay, as I have a lot of fun playing with fabric, and that’s all the counts, right?

Love your creativeness! Beautiful block.
Linda

Sandi, your block is adorable! Love the way you showed your design steps and the resulting quilt. Well done! Thanks so much for the chance!
Love your birdhouse. Also like the rolled open effect of hour blog.
What a sweet tweet! I think the wall hanging would be an adorable wedding gift quilt. I would just embroider the names of the two birdies and the date on the block somewhere to celebrate the creation of a new home.
Great bird house block!
I really like that cute little bird house even more in the wall hanging.
What a cute block!

Your block is adorable! I love all of the little embellishments you used. Your wallhanging is too cute, I like the border of birds. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m pretty new to applique, so I never know if I should match my thread to the appliqued piece or go for contrast. After seeing your block, I’m definitely going to try contrast. Yours is so charming!
I totally envy anyone who has the patience for such creative applique.
Thanks for letting us see the design process– I always enjoy that. I especially like the second version of your wallhanging. It’s amazing how color and fabric choices can change the “feel” of a project, isn’t it?
This is such a sweet block. Perfect for spring!
I love your quilt block. It is so adorable. I especially like the flowers at the bottom of the birdhouse. Thanks for sharing.
Fun springy block–love the little birds!
I love how your design evolves from sketchbook idea to the final colors that you love.
Thank you for sharing your sketch book. I am often intimidated by the great art in some quilter’s sketch books. Seeing yours makes me willing to put my concepts in a book, instead of scraps of paper that later end up in the trash.
Darling! Thanks for the giveaway!
