Last week I played around with some layouts for my Crossroads blocks and this week I did the same with Birds in the Air blocks.
One Chevron layout (I will most certainly have one of these at the end of the year!):
Three Diamond layouts:
I find it interesting how moving the white space totally alters the top!
Here I just did a quick mix of the colors... I would probably switch the middle blocks to alternate pink/purple with orange/green.
It's been a great month of green and I'm looking forward to a new color next week!

I've always loved to make things. Join me while I reboot my creativity, create a new quilting room and tackle LOTS of unfinished projects.
It is clever what you can do with the same block! I especially like the chevron layout - might have to have a go at that one!
ReplyDeleteThese both look great. I especially like the chevron layout :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, quick lesson in layout possibilities. How fun to see the birds in the air blocks has so many options. Your blocks look crisp and fresh.
ReplyDeleteWOW--these are just simply lovely blocks!! Julierose
ReplyDeleteI like all your layouts, especially the chevrons. Can't wait to them with even move colors in coming months.
ReplyDeleteAll great layouts with the bird block!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteI too love that Chevron design and would love to make a quilt of that pattern one day.
Awesome blocks. This will be a beautiful rainbow quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how different each of the layouts looks. I really love the chevrons. You've definitely found a great way to use up scraps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all that design play - what fun to see all the different layouts and possibilities!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I like the Chevron layout at the top.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! The variations are all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the chevron quilt....awesome!!! The colors are so vibrant! Beautiful! Hugs, Doreen
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of ideas for your blocks. I love the first one although the second would be great for some fancy hand quilting motifs. So fun to watch this one grow each month.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks. I like all three layouts. This is going to be a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteHmmm your blocks are lovely. I think I like the chevron setting : )
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the zigzags
ReplyDeletethose are some lovely looking blocks/settings you have there. Looking forward to what May brings. Quilt on
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love the blocks but the settings make them even more fabulous!
