The Little Cousin

 

These birds were made by my friend The Selvage Fairy. She actually lives in the same town that I do. She wrote to me that when she was getting the bird ready to mail, his little cousin jumped into the envelope. TSF told him that he wasn't quite right for this project, but he wanted to come anyway.

The little cousin looks like a hummingbird, and I am thrilled he decided to come along.

I tell folks that my students teach me things, and this is another example of that.

If you would like to contribute to my student bird quilt, I'd be happy to receive your donation. the block should have a mostly light background and be at least 8" square. You can get my bird tutorial here, at my Etsy shop.
