Here we are ready to start on the fourth row of the quilt. Don't you think it is fun to have a bird at the start of this row?

This bird is brown in color, has a showy crest and red wax-like tips to his wings. You may carry out that color if you wish to do so, or, if you desire, you could make the wings of plain brown, not too somber. Have the body of a brown and red check if you can find a fine one. Put the beak in a brilliant orange. If you want to do so, it is suggested that you make the tips of the wings - that part that extends out into a point - in red. But in that case use red for the beak and for the legs as well. And embroider the eye in fast color red cotton.

This bird is to be appliqued on a 12 1/2x12 1/2 inch square. Be sure that the is placed so that he will stand up straight and "perky."
