Happy Friday Everyone.
I can hardly believe this is the last Tweet of 2011. It’s making me kinda sad here I have to tell you…well sad until I realize that there is still an appliqué border to do (which I am working on and hope to have up really soon). I’m still in love with these little birds.
Anyway, here is the full sized block:
And here are the printer sized downloads:
Since these blocks finish at 14” and many of the blocks are asymmetrical I want to talk about printing your patterns. Each pattern has four downloads. Print each of these and tape them together to make your full sized pattern. Here is a diagram for doing this.
We will do this the same way for all the patterns since it allows the patterns to be easily printed on a home printer.

and join the fun.
Enjoy!
P.S. For those of you who notice these things I did decide to leave one of the pink flowers off...I found it looked better with an odd number of flowers. If you really want that flower, by all means put it back on!
Erin...the block is just lovely. I do like the version with the odd number of flowers, too. Looking forward to the border design.

Erin, thank you so much for your generous BOM. My Tweets is absolutely lovely and I can't wait to see what you do next year. I'm not a big applique girl (really want instant gratification!), but these I will try to do. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

You are so talented; I'm green with envy!! I really like your little birds, too. After I get the project I'm working on now done, I'm going to start this one. I really want to do the next one, Miss Mimi, too. I just think you have the greatest "EYE" and color sense! Keep up the good work and thank you for the designs.

I have some money comming for Christmas and I will be going to buy my fabrics to start the Tweets and can hardly wait. I will also be buying the center block. I look forward to the boarders. Thanks for sharing this lovely design with all of us.

Erin, this is the most beautiful quilt! I don't do a lot on the computer, but I rush to read your blog each day. I see great things in your future as a pattern designer and I would love to see what you would do with a fabric line! Some big company needs to snatch you up...

Thank-you from me in NZ

Erin, thank you for a most delightful quilt pattern. I'm starting it after the first of the year and the completion of another project. I'm starting with the center panel and going from there. Your talents are fantastic and we so appreciate that you are sharing. God bless you

Thank you so much for sharing this project with us, Erin. I'm getting more and more excited to actually start mine. ;D I've got about half the fabrics collected now, with plans to finish that and get started in January. I'll be a full year behind (probably more) when I finish, but you've really lit a flame for applique under my now-itchy fingers. Merry Christmas to you!

This is a very nice quilt and I hope you put it in book form. I just recently found all of this and hope to start soon! But my question is with all of the wonderful tutorials how long are they going to be up so I can refer to them? i have all the blocks and have studied them a lot but I have a simple mind and really need them.
