Buzzed Birds Quilt-Muster von Latifah Saafir Studios

The diagonal layout of the half rectangle triangles gives this Birds In the Air variation a modern feel, and the foundation paper piecing instructions were clear enough for me to follow without much trouble. I love how fresh the finished block looks compared to the traditional version.

This pattern made the half rectangle triangles so much less intimidating with its clear diagrams. I love the diagonal layout—it gives a classic block a much more modern feel.

The half rectangle triangles sewn on the diagonal create such a modern, energetic look compared to the usual straight-set blocks. The foundation paper piecing made the points come together perfectly on my first try, which rarely happens for me.
