Bright Birds.

Another lot of binding done and another quilt finished!
This quilt started out from a selection of fat quarters that I had collected. It meant that the quilt couldn’t grow too big and would just be a wall hanging size. That was fine.
I fussy cut the birds and then simply added mix and match borders around them. I did straight line quilting from edge to edge and also around each framed bird. I like the bright, cheeriness of the quilt. In hindsight, the only thing I would maybe change is that I would add in some plain white around the birds so it was not as busy. But now that it is finished it will stay as it is.
Oh what a happy quilt! I can just hear those birds chattering away. It’s nice to let a quilt be a wall size rather than feel the pressure of making it big enough for a bed.
The quilt is beautiful. The colours are great for spring time. I can’t wait till I can finish my quilt no. 2. Just have to put the binding on. I really do love every part of quilting from start to finish. Charmaine
