Juillet est rouge / July is red

Nouveau mois, nouvelle couleur : c'est rouge pour juillet. Rouge comme les braises du barbecue, les coups de soleil, les fraises et les cerises !
New month, new color: it's red for July. Red like BBQ burning coals, sunburns, strawberries and cherries!


Je pensais avoir beaucoup de chutes de tissus rouges, finalement j'en ai assez peu.
Ah, prochain achat ce sera du rouge ;-)
J'ai quand même trouvé 5 tissus pour faire un nichoir. Le centre n'est pas gris, mais vert-bleu très pâle, un de ceux utilisés pour le nichoir de juin.

I thought I may have a lot of red scraps, finally I have few of them. 
Ah, next purchase will be red fabrics ;)
I found five different fabrics to make a birdhouse. The center is not grey, but a very pale green-blue, used for the block of June.



Rouge, c'est aussi une des couleurs de notre drapeau, et en ce 14 juillet, bonne fête nationale à tous !
Red is also one of our French flag color, and as it's our National Day, Happy 14th of July everybody!

Ce mois-ci pour atteindre mon objectif, j'ai prévu de faire les 2 autres blocs rouges, et aussi ceux du mois de juin, 2 blocs vert-bleu...
This month, to reach my goal, I planned to sew two more red blocks, but also the two missing blocks of June, teal...

That's a fine birdhouse. I notice it's waiting for an inhabitant. It's going to look great with the blue and green and maybe even the teal. Can't wait to see the end result.

These bird house blocks are fun. You will have a very nice quilt at the end of the process.

Such a fun and unique scrap design. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your birdhouses together. It will make a very colorful bird house community! :)

Gorgeous log cabin birdhouse! I mlm love it and I love the reds you chose.
I really love the log cabin birdhouse! Great fabrics too! Is there a pattern for this?
What cute birdhouses!!! I'm a bit low on reds, too. Must keep that in mind at the quilt shop next time!

Happy National Day! Love the cute little birdhouse!
I love your red birdhouse - lots of fun color! You may have told us, but I don't remember - are your birdhouses paper pieced?
Thank you Brenda! It's a log cabin pattern, I was inspired by a mini quilt made by Judith (http://justjude-designs.com/) but she has no pattern for sale.
I made my own and a wonky one: https://quiltingpatch.blogspot.com/2018/01/rainbow-quilt-more-scraps.html, tell me if you want me to send you a pdf file.
Thank You Diann!
Yes they are paper pieced, even the wonky pattern :))

Pretty birdhouse. I have fond memories from visiting France when I was a teenager - great memories of the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elyeese.

It's always fun to see a new birdhouse! I'll take red in all the colors you mentioned except for sunburn red!!
Happy 14th of July!

First, happy July 14th! Second, I adore your beautiful and yet cute birdhouses. I went on a rabbit trail looking through your blog for a pattern. I saw that you got an idea for your wonky birdhouse from an improv book. Then I noticed that you gave Judith credit for giving you inspiration and I looked at her blog and did not see a birdhouse. So, is there a place that I can find the paper piecing pattern for this block. My son is getting full custody of his 12 year old son next week and I think a quilt is in order for my grandson. I think a quilt of birdhouses in many of his favorite colors would be fun for him. Maybe it wouldn't be too feminine for him. I'll have to discuss it with his dad, of course and see what he thinks. I don't want to put lots of time and effort into something my grandson will not like. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Susan

Your birdhouses are so cute! It is fun to see your National Day of celebration. My daughter and son-in-law recently visited France and fell in love!

Hope you had a very happy July 14th. And congrats on the World Cup win. It was probably pretty hopping there today. Happy stitching this week.

Congratulations to France on the big win! The birds would love to have that brightly coloured birdhouse
Hi Suze, great news, Judith gave me the permission to post the pattern I made inspired by her mini!
Your birdhouse block is so cute - I love the way it is made with all those red strips. Your July 14th celebration looks like it was a lot of fun. The pic of the fireworks over the Eiffel Tower is perfect! Thanks for linking to Main Crush Monday!
Your sweet birdhouse made me think of the red flowers that recently started to bloom in our garden. Many Congratulations to France for the World Cup Win!! Well deserved :)
