Some blocks bring the party and the Bird In the Air quilt block is no exception. This block has two secrets that I love. The first secret is that by simply rotating the block you’ll get striking looks and utterly different quilts. The second is that you can make this block four at a time!
Let’s have a little fun and create a baby quilt together!
Grab a kit and play along! Layout your blocks as you choose and quilt along with Angela!

As with all things quilty, there are a variety of ways you may find this block in the wild. We are going to work on a simple 6” finished Birds In The Air. Here’s the block:

Love the movement of #3!
Hi Margaret! Please cast your vote in the box above so we can make sure it’s counted! I’m a big fan of #3 too ; )
Hey Sandra! I think so too! Make sure to let us know by voting in the box above!
My favorite is number 2 but I like them all.
I chose #3 but I like them all. I think the fabric I was going to use would determine my design of choice.
Bonnie, totally agree! All of these would make absolutely stunning quilts.
My choice is #5
My choice is #3
#4 is my choice. I like the movement.
It was so difficult to choose between the designs. I’d like to make them all! I voted for #3
They are all amazing! I really love #2 and #3.
I like 5 best, but I also really like 4 and 3. All of them are pretty.
I choose #4 because I like the movement of the design. But if I know Angela, she will add more movement with her quilting designs.
William, so true!
Love number 3.
#3 although I like #2also
I like #5
Tough choice but #2 is my choice. This white diamonds could all be different colors. You could also place the same colors diagonally and alternate colors. All kinds of options.
Stuck – like both 3 & 5. 3 looks like pinwheels but 5 looks like fun.
I like #5
I like #4 as it is similar to delectable mountains set. Lots of ways to quilt that pattern.
#3 is my favorite, and would be easy to quilt depending on which block you choose as primary.
I would like to do #5!
I like #2 or #3
#5 Looks like birds flying.
My favorite layout is # 5.
Love the movement.
#3 gets my vote!!
