One More Step on the New House Bird Quilt
Thing-a_day was down last night so i didn’t get to post this:
The new batch of batik fabrics arrived from Hancock’s of Paducah yesterday, so today I turned my attention back to this quilt. I am hoping to get it done in time for a hanging at a quilt show in New York State at the end of March. They have requested an exhibit of my bird quilts. I wrote a book of paper pieced bird quilts, but this is quite different, so it’d be fun to add it to the mix.
I made two more background strips–the top two. And I quickly made a piece of bias for a tree just to give my brain a beginning taste of what it is looking like. I’m thinking I’ll switch from green to bark colors, but at this point, it gives me insight into how it is coming along. I’ll make one more row of background–at least that was the original plan.
