Cute, colorful, adorable, playful . . . just a few words to describe the new Birdie fabric from Moda. It’s one of those fabrics that you just have to play with. The colors are so bright and cheerful.

The Birdie Charm Pack (5″ squares) has 42 pieces.  The predominant color is blue but there are also pinks, browns, yellows and greens.  Plus several with white background. 

There are wiggly stripes of brown and blue. 

Small print daisy-like flowers are found in the blues, greens and pinks. 

Larger white daisy-like flowers are on tone-on-tone checkered backgrounds. 

Even larger pink feathery flowers have birds nearby and are found on dotty backgrounds. 

Simple, cute birdies are on dotty backgrounds and fancier birdies with scalloped wings are perched on curly cues. 

Finally, there are “yolka-dots”!  Multi-colored dots that seem to use every color found in the collection. 

Charm packs make quick half square triangles and four square blocks, so you can finish a quilt right quick! Just add some white background and this fabric is just right for a new baby blanket.   Use more than one charm pack and make a quilt a little girl would love to have on her bed. 

So, grab a charm pack (or more) and have some cheery fun.

If you need help getting started there are plenty of charm pack patterns.
