New House Study Quilt, Con’t.
Today I made another row for the background of my birds-in-the-woods quilt that is a color and feeling study for the new house we’re building this spring. I had made the pieces for the birds last week 9eyes and beaks to come), so a laid them down to get an idea of how the quilt is becoming. (Sounds awkward, but I mean what I wrote.) I ordered fabrics for a greener row below and then three rows above to work into blues, so the color choices for the birds will still work on other sections of the background whereas they melt into these. As per an earlier “thing” post, there will be vertical branches for the birds to sit on once I get the backgound pieces down and put together.
P.S. I went up to the cabinet shop which is on the way to our property today for my first serious decision-making venture. Afterwards I drove up to the property. saw a pileated Woodpecker, herard Nuthatches and most likely Downies, and heard and then saw Sandhill Cranes flying over the mountain. Makes the heart soar!
