Americana QAL - Row 3 - Birdhouses

Hi y'all!  So I mentioned that I got a lot of sewing done over the weekend.  Saturday, I worked on Row 3 for the Americana QAL being hosted by my friend, Deana, at Dreamworthy Quilts.  Deana is an extremely talented designer and I cannot help but join in with every quilt along she hosts.  This one didn't let me down.  This row is birdhouses.  Here are the left facing ones...

And the right facing ones...

Those of you that have been following me for a while know that I'm not much into applique'.  And Deana really does beautiful applique'.  But I just couldn't tackle it this weekend.  So I pulled a bird from Lorna's design for the Elephant Parade, and used it instead...

All in all, I love this row.

I love this row!  So sweet!  Can't wait for next month's installment.  Thanks Deana!

I'm linking up today with Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday, with I Have to Say for Show and Tell Tuesday, with Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday, and Sew Cute Tuesday with Blossom Heart Quilts.

    Adorable birdhouses! I had to go follow Deana after reading this post. I have sworn off new Quilt Alongs for awhile, but I am sure I will be tempted by one of her future ones!

    Love the birdhouses and the flag colors. It looks good on that printing background.
