Hungry Birds Applique Quilt Pattern Bundle
In the Hungry Birds pattern bundle you get the Chirp mix & match birds pattern, plus the Wormy Worm pattern, an alphabet to make pretty bird sounds, and a layout guide for a grid with half blocks to help you put it all together!
It's a beautifully colorful flock of cheerful birds!
Chirp is a super easy pattern, perfect for beginners. The birds aren't supposed to represent specific species - they're just cute and fun. :-)
(If you're looking for a pattern to make specific songbirds, take a look at the Backyard Birds pattern.)
After you make the fourteen birds included in the pattern, get creative and make even more unique birds by mixing and matching all the templates. Have fun with it!
Then add some worms and chirpy bird sounds!
You can also opt to add itty bitty worms to your bird blocks, like tiny little photobombers. The Wormy Worms pattern includes both sizes.
This is exclusively available as a PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper or fusible adhesive sheets. No shipping costs and no waiting!
With detailed instructions, step by step photos, and video tutorials, this versatile pattern is easy enough for beginners. Use it to make quilts, pillows, wall hangings, tote bags and more!
Perfect for any bird-loving friend.

Difficulty
I designed this quilt to teach appliqué – so it’s great for beginners, and a fun and relaxing project for more experienced stitchers. If you can use your sewing machine, you have the skills you need to make this colorful and cuddly bird quilt.
I used appliqué with fusible adhesive and Quilt As You Go to make a super easy quilt - almost all done on the machine. The pattern also includes links to videos teaching needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué with freezer paper, in case you prefer those methods.
You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.
