Make the Block
1. Trace all templates onto the paper side of fusible web. Cut out loosely around each shape and fuse to the wrong side of the indicated fabric. Cut out on the drawn lines.
2. Fuse the branch onto the 10-1/2” Circle Dot Aqua square.
3. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of (4) 1-1/2” Aqua Floral squares. Place a marked square on each corner, sew on the drawn line, and trim seam allowance to ¼”. Press corners open.

4. Sew 1-1/2” x 10-1/2” Aqua Floral strips to opposite sides of the square. Sew 1-1/2” x 12-1/2” Aqua Floral strips to the top and bottom.

5. Referring to the block image, fuse the remaining shapes to the quilt block. Use a decorative stitch to secure shapes in place. Add a button or French knot for bird eyes.

    1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
      Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
