Bird Collective

October is the month for brown over at the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge. One of my block collections features a bird that sports the color of the month. Brown owl and Eagle made such a ruckus I thought they were about to kill each other. That's when I heard a lip smacking sound from Mr. Vulture. I picked Mr. Vulture to represent the brown bird and that stopped all the fighting and left Mr. Vulture to look for a new breakfast.

Here are the birds I have so far to represent each color of the month. Noticeably absent are Mr. Cardinal for red and the Oriole for orange.

Roy the foster kitten said he would be glad to settle any and all disputes if only I would rescind his banishment from sewing room.

Oh my, poor Mr. Vulture looks so sad and downtrodden. What a beautiful collection of blocks. I really love your fabrics -- just enough texture without being distracting.

Such fun bird blocks. Mr. Vulture does look a bit mournful, but I suppose that's just their nature.

Cathy said...

Looks like the voracious Mr. Vulture has Roy's hair standing on end!

I love that vulture. What a cute pattern. And Roy is adorable! I'm sure he would have a great time in the sewing room!

I love all of these, especially that little Roy Boy.

Kat Scribner said...

Your birds are awesome! and I'm positive Mr. Kitten would make a disaster in your sewing room.

Poor vulture, not the cutest of creatures! He fits in with the flock though and collectively the flock look fantastic.

Probably the most attractive vulture I have seen although he looks rather sad - love your idea of different bird blocks for each colour!

What a fabulous new block!

Deb A said...

I think he just wants to get in there to play with the birds! He looks like a little rascal.

Love your vulture, love all your birds, what a wonderfully creative project. Cute kitten, too.

No wonder Mr. Vulture looks so sad, having lost his feast. Is Roy getting excited with all these birds around?

Sheila said...

Love, love, LOVE your bird blocks!!

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever wanted to cuddle a vulture... Or contemplated making a vulture quilt...
(Love all your birdies!!)
