Darting Bird Quilt Block

Darting Bird Quilt Block

You are here:

The Darting Bird Quilt Block is a 9-patch block made up of squares and half square triangles.  The overall design is asymetrical, and if you look at it going one way you see the bird, but if you look at it the other way, it looks more like a flower or a crown.  Either way,  it has a lovely effect when grouped together or when paired with other blocks.
