Oiseaux jaunes / Yellow birds

Des mésanges pour compléter mon quilt Rainbow :
Chickadees for my Rainbow Quilt:



C'est un patron de Mary Herschleb. Je n'ai gardé que 2 mésanges sur les 3, et toutes les deux tournées vers la gauche. Un petit oeil et elles seront finies !
It's a pattern designed by Mary Herschleb. I only kept two chickadees on three, and both looking towards the left. An eye is missing, then they will be done!

Un aperçu de la ménagerie à ce jour :
An overview of the menagerie so far:


Il y en aura peut-être d'autres, ça dépend du placement qui sera décidé pour le quilt...
There may be some more, depends on the layout chosen for the quilt...



A question to which you might like to give me some help
=> what is the difference between layout and setting? (remember, I'm French, and sometimes don't understand English vocabulary...)

- Layout is for positioning blocks one to another, like row#1 is Block A, then Block B, Block C, ... and setting is for the blocks themselves, on-point for example?
- Or one is Canadian and the other American?

Setting is a general term. It describes how the quilt looks. This includes sashing, on point, with alternate blocks. Layout is specific to your quilt. For example, "I like the on point setting, but your layout has too much orange in the left column."
Thank you for showing us the birds. They are lovely. A78mandel at yahoo dot com

Wonderful birds! Your definitions are accurate, but I think sometimes quilters will use them interchangeably. Context should help, but I apologize for us native-speakers and our lax use of words!!!
I love this block! Chickadees are one of my favorite birds. I can't wait to see your final layout :)

Layout for me means how you will set the blocks.

Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

You are correct: Layout is where you place your blocks (side-by-side, etc); setting is how the quilt is laid out (on point, etc). Your rainbow birds look fabulous!
They are a sweet bunch! Can't wait to see your final layout. I also believe your definition is spot on :)

I am sure that your birds will chirp and sing sweetly in any layout and any setting. In my opinion, setting and layout are both terms to indicate how the blocks are arranged or positioned in a quilt. To best understand the layout/setting you need a picture. Words are not enough. Since quilt-making is visual, I won't worry too much about the words.

These birds amaze me every time I see them -- just wonderful. And I think you are correct in your definitions, although as others have said, people tend to use them interchangeably.

You are right about setting (think "set a block") and layout ("lay out a quilt"). One of the problems with the English language is that it has many words that can be interchangeable but have slightly different definitions.
Your birds make a sweet little menagerie. They are so pretty together!

Hi Fred I do like your bird lay out of your wee birds that are all so adorable, you have the patience of a Saint to make these tiny birds up. Love the two wee tits, so so sweet. I don't have the patience to make them, so work in applqiue instead. Cheers Glenda

Beautiful birds!

Annette's explanation is exact. We do tend to use them interchangeably, as in 'I'm going to use strips and cornerstones for my setting', and someone might reply 'That's a great layout'. Your English seems quite fine to me, and this kind of differentiation is a very advanced level of 2nd language learning, where shades of meaning separate two words. Good for you for even noticing there could be a difference! Now, your wonderful birds are so precise and beautiful. This quilt is really going to be a treasure.
