I’m liking this a lot better now! There’s no problem seeing his beak… I used a little piece of pink shimmery fabric for the cheek, which I like! (Thanks Leslie! It was perfect!) She also donated the chin and feather fabric! I have them all in process… Our theme this month is “Birds Re-visited”. I designed this block to see if I could do it! Birds are kind of tricky!

Thank you Cindy! I liked the other one too, I just needed to have his beak show up better!

Thank you Sue! I think the aqua was a better choice!

Thanks! I like it better too… The green was realistic, but the beak has to show or he just didn’t look right!

I think this is realistic too. The background is the color of the sky which fits the picture perfectly.

I agree! And it shows the beak much better!

You captured the ‘look’ perfectly! That beak looks tricky!!!

That is one of the best looking hummingbirds I’ve seen. Is the pattern available or is it of your own creation?

It is my own creation, but I switch the piecing sections around from the original, so I don’t even have the hand drawn original! LOL! The original had seams going through his head, and I decided at the last minute to cut them a different way…
