Today, I am binding and putting the finishing touches on one of the quilts that I entered in the Salute To Texas Quilt Show.
Back in January, I was walking around JoAnn’s and I found six different fabrics with birds.
I love birds.
Anything with birds.
With no plan in mind for how to use this fabric, I purchased some yardage of each of the six.
On the way home, my favorite poem by Emily Dickinson came to mind.
At this time, I was studying and making blocks from Lucinda Ganderton’s book, Block a Day.
I chose some blocks and used the bird fabric for the center points of each block.
Here are some close ups of some of the blocks:
I’ve made and attached the label.
I have also made the sleeve.
Now, it’s binding time.
Your quilt is very beautiful! =)
Love your color choices! The birds add a flair to the blocks. Great idea!
I wasn’t so sure how this would come out, since I ended up using lots of scraps to go with the bird fabric I purchased. It has so much color, I was wondering if it was too much.
Looks wonderful! You did good!
