Note: You will need to sew the individual foundations before you assemble the sections. Click Here for instructions on how to sew foundations.

Step 1: Print the Bird Bath Foundation to the desired size. In this example, the Bird Bath foundation is 8 x 8 inches. Note: The Bird Bath Foundation is in two parts. The bird will be placed in the white rectangle, piece #1. |
|
Step 2: Once the foundation is printed, measure pice #1. This is the area where the bird will "sit". In the 8" block, the bird area measures 3" wide by 2.5" high. |
|
Step 3: Print a foundation of the bird (In this example, we have chosen the Sparrow block.) Adjust the size to make the bird the same size as piece #1 In this example, print the bird foundation 3" x 2.5". Do not worry about the seam allowance. The Foundation Factory will automatically add the seam allowance. Sew the Bird Foundation and piece any sections together to complete the bird foundation.

Step 4: Now we will add the bird to the Bird Bath Foundation. Remove the paper from the Bird Foundation. Pin the bird foundation (right side up) to piece #1 in the Bird Bath foundation taking care to place the seam allowance so that it extends 1/4" around the rectangle for the bird. Add the rest of the foundation pieces just as you would for any other block. |

Step 5: Sew Part B and then sew it to Part A. You have now completed the block. |
