Mon Oeuvre ~ Feathers Quilt progress: 1

I'm making a quilt for my mom - "Feathers", a quilt pattern by Margot Languedoc. I just love it, I hope my mom will too.

Here's my first block. My mom's favorite color is blue. I chose blue as the background and I'm hoping it will look like a flock of birds in a blue sky when I'm done.
