These darting birds will dash through your sewing machine with ease. When I think of a bird quilt block, I think of a flying geese unit. However, this is a nice change from the flying geese that still looks like a bird.

Tips and Tricks
Cut all the fabric to make your HSTs 1/8” bigger. This will give you that little extra wiggle room so you can trim down these blocks to exactly the size you need.
I don’t like to normally press open at all. However, in this case following the instructions listed in the book is beneficial. It keeps a lot of bulk that would happen in the center or the body of the bird block.
This bird is that simple and will dash right through your sewing machine. If you have been reading along but don’t have a copy of the Summer Moon Book. I will leave a button for you to get your own copy below.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is an intermediate quilter wanting to grow their quilting skills. The reason is that there is a forgiving factor to making this quilt and it becomes apparent once we finish making all the quilt blocks. More details to come.
Are you making this quilt as well? Have you already made your own Summer Moon Quilt? What fabric line did you use? Let me know in the comments below. I am using an older fabric line called Lollipop Garden by Lella Boutique. This is the fabric line originally used for the cover quilt.
