March Monthly Color Challenge

Today is my March Monthly Color Challenge post as I participate in the 2020 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Patterns by Jen once again. On the first of each month, Jen gives us the block pattern and color for the month. Her inspiration this year is birds. This month’s bird is the Oriole, a favorite bird of mine, and the block color is orange. The above photo shows a visitor to our backyard a few years ago – a young male Orchard Oriole. 


Orioles are favorite birds of mine for a few reasons. If you know me at all, you’ll know one of the reasons is their bright, bold orange coloring. The other reason is that they were my dad’s favorite bird. He could mimic their call by whistling. Needless to say, we had several very frustrated orioles in our backyard – haha!

With all the vibrant colors of the birds, you know I had to find some vibrant orange fabrics in my stash. Each of the blocks Jen designs are basic and simple, but really come alive with different fabrics. I always enjoy her monthly linky party and seeing the different colors and fabrics!
