Birds in the Air - Project Quilting challenge 11.4

Project Quilting announced the fourth challenge of the season as “Birds in the Air”, which is the name of a traditional quilt block that uses two sizes of triangles combined to make a square block.  We were directed to either use or reinterpret this traditional block in our project.  

I have had the pattern, “Harrison’s Daybreak” on my to do list for a few years now. It is the 2015 Row by Row pattern from Beginnings Quilt Shop in Hendersonville, North Carolina which I picked up during a visit to my sister-in-law that year. This was the perfect time to finally make it.

I modified the pattern a bit to change the size (and number) of background squares so I could incorporate the Birds in the Air blocks. But even then, the background squares were only 3”, so I decided to draft a foundation piecing pattern to make the Birds in the Air blocks.

I am calling this

Sunrise Sentinel
