What are you most proud of?

Most proud of keeping my birds with their heads "up" on these blocks.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be sure to use the scant 1/4 inch seam allowance or your blocks will be too small. Don't trust your foot, measure to see where 1/4 inch is and then go slightly (thread or two) inside that.
