2020 Monthly Color Challenge – August

Today is the premier of Block #8 for the Monthly Block Challenge by Patterns by Jen.

Well this bird is certainly an inspiriting one. A tall pink bird has alway seemed to me to be such an oddity, but so beautiful. I love the videos of them moving, like synchronized swimmers or dancers. They are also social in a way that so many other birds are not – another fascinating fact.

This month’s block is an easy one, I think a requirement for an August block. There are a lot of QALs starting (see one I am involved in here) and just the lazy last days of summer makes an easy block seem just right!

One thing I recommend is something to keep pieces in order. Last year, I bleieve, I mad this board. It really is a simple and a fun project, so if you don’t have one, you may one to make on!

Please visit the other bloggers, and most especially Jen to get your pattern.
