This is my Niece's bird. I made this bird back in July, and I am showing it to you again because I am making birds based on family members for a bird quilt I am making for my mother. My niece has a partner and I wanted to show you his bird too.When I met him last year, I found out he loved maps, so I used a fabric that reminded me of the topological lines on maps as the wing fabric. My niece send me a photograph of the two of them taken when they were hiking. They both looked so happy and bright I decided to use bright colors for this bird's breast.
If you too want to make birds based on family members, friends, or anything you see, you can get my tutorial here, at my Etsy shop.



Such fun connections between these three birds. Your mom is going to love this quilt.
