Pattern pattern for A Year of flowers for Foxy block 3 quilt birds spring summer free motion embroidery applique raw edge

This pattern is for the willow tit and crested tit which form pattern 3 of the A Year of Flowers for Foxy quilt. The block measures 18 by 16"

​
The quilt itself is in my usual style, so it is a patchwork background with raw edge applique sewn with free-motion embroidery. You don't need a fancy machine to stitch it but your machine needs to be able to do free-motion embroidery. The pattern contains basic instructions for the patchwork. I won't go into a lot of detail on patchwork as I am assuming that you know the basics but other than the odd half-square triangle, it is all pretty simple. I use raw edge techniques and the patterns are using those instructions, but you could also use needle turn techniques, but no instructions will be given. For some of the pieces, you would need additional fabric to use needle-turn.


Hopefully that all makes sense, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.
