I am pretty sure this is the final layout. Now, when I actually sew these birds together, I will have to do some tinkering. I may shorten some bird legs, I may reduce the space between them, but I won't alter a bird. Getting these where they are required a lot of up and down on the ladder.I sneezed. Oops.
Fortunately I had taken and printed a photograph.
There will be set in squares, but I don't know yet exactly where they may be. this (above) is one of three attempts to work out how I will sew these together. I don't need to know how I will sew it all together before I start. I just need to know where I am going next.
This panel goes in the upper left.
I always knew I wanted the little bird to be directly underneath a bigger bird. To make that happen, I inserted the little bird in part of the leg panel of a larger bird.

Love love love! That's a very amazing looking flock of birds. A shame about the sneeze but luckily you were well prepared with the photo taken! I haven't started on my birds yet - it was to be this year's play project....maybe in the winter when the days are a little quieter! Have fun sewing them all up.
Too bad about the sneeze, but at least you had photos to put the blocks back. It's fascinating to see how you figure out how to get all those different size blocks to play nice together.
Thanks for diagramming your process. It's a lesson I can use.
