I have made more Hummingbirds. They will eventually be appliqued to yellow backgrounds. This block is also known as Periwinkle or Arkansas Snowflake.
I'm using the Periwinkle Block Made Easy tutorial from Susie's Scraps except I'm using 3.5 inch squares and 9 inch background squares to make my blocks.
I started making these blocks in 2023. My goal is 63 blocks.
Minnie's Hummingbird appeared in the July/August 2011 issue of Quiltmaker. It was made by Minnie Jacoby Schultz c. 1930.
I was inspired by Minnie's quilt. I tried making blocks using the method in the magazine but didn't enjoy that process or result.
And sew on...

I should not go right into reading before that 1 st cup of coffee ,I was looking for the "hummingbird"🤣
Yay, for finding a method that works for you :)
These blocks are very pretty! I have papers for foundation papering this pattern, just need to do it. Happy stitching!
Thank you for that link! What a brilliant method. I have always wanted to to make that block.
really pretty blocks....
love those stars
Oh I love the colors you are using. I looked at the link and I was expecting to see EPP. That was very clever of her to use the squares. It has to be much quicker than EPP!
