I recently put together this two page spread using a paper piecing pattern and layout I found at scrapbooks etc.com (http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/magazine/piecetalk/naturethemed_ss1.html)
I wanted to share I with you and let you know I have an svg file created for the bird, if you want to cut it with your Cricut, instead of printing the pattern and doing it by hand.
