There's nothing like getting a big project done and then doing something you like as a reward. I made a bird. And not just ANY bird, a freaking Majestic bird.
I started with this bird. I found a piece of the green wing fabric, and it said it wanted have something blue in it. Alas, it came out a bit more bland than I would have liked, but still. So then I moved on to the other one. They make me laugh.
I added the last row to the Little Blocks quilt.
In the Great Stash Clean Up I found this fabric I had bought a year ago. I found six yards of it. Not only did I iron it (finally)...
I cut it into two three yard pieces and sewed them together. Now it will be the backing of the Little Blocks quilt.
Going to be awesome!
I had an idea for another tutorial, one that I am tentatively calling "The Easiest Quilt Ever," so I'm working on that. I think
Julie's squirrels have migrated to my studio...
and oh, I joined Facebook. I'm still not sure how it works yet, but I'm there as me.
Your first bird just got an " A". that is scrolled in his plumage.!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that backing is fabulous! Retirement is wonderful, isn’t it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous backing piece and it really sings as the border, too!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, majestic bird--nice works hugs, Julierose
Fabulous backing -- LOL re migrating squirrels!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! He really IS majestic! I was admiring my bird quilt just this morning, thinking I need to take it down and put it on the couch so I can nap under it—and submit to the urge to dig through my stash looking for more birds!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I've got some Paula Nadelstern in purple that clearly needs to be a bird!
