Part 3 is the ‘Birds in the Air’ pieced block with appliqué… your making 2 identical units for Part 3. Here is the first colorway that I’m making my quilt in
The Meadow Breeze Part 3 unit
And how it looks in the layout!
And a 2nd colorway! I mocked up the 2nd colorway as I’m not making 2 quilts.
the layout is also a mock up
Following the directions.. cut some stuff… let the fun begin!
Sew four “Birds in the Air Blocks”. I highly recommend you make one first to be sure of your seam allowance
That was fun!
Trim the block to 6.5″ x 6.5″. Use a square ruler.. if you do not own one, now IS THE TIME to correct this horrible situation.. all quilters should own the following squares at a BARE minimum!
- 6.5″
- 12.5″
- 20.5″
Sew 2 blocks together.. this makes one unit.. Sew the other 2 blocks together for Part 3 assignment,
My friend Betty highly recommends ironing open the seam so you reduce bulk unde the appliqué that goes on this unit. Betty is very smart.. and does excellent appliqué.. beliver her.. I do!
Now Fuse your appliqué
put some green thread on the machine for stems.
Voila.. your done with part 3!!

If you are not familiar with this fusible method, see my book ‘Learn to appliqué’ for how I do fusible and keep the shapes as soft as possible by cutting away.. plus it’s economical as you don’t waste fusible!
