Red,
I am not quite sure I understand this one. I am not familiar with the birthday block concept?? That is a pretty good sized blocks so ideas would be helpful!! I think I am still a little brain dead with the holidays.

Thanks for posting. Deanna

example a birthday cake, party hats the year you were born etc.

other ideas for a birthday block:
* your astrological sign,
* the flower or gemstone for your birth month,
* a photo from an early birthday party transferred to fabric,
* a calendar with your birthdate highlighted (for those with embroidery skills).

I like all those ideas, especially the birthstone and birth flower. A sew on small birthstone might work. That is a big block, guess it can be broken down into mini blocks. I'm doing a block of the month called Leannes House, by Leanne Beasley, and they are bigger blocks broken down into mini blocks, the same could be done here.
