The panels were a little wonky, so I decided to add a few strips to frame then straighten them. To accent the birds, I added a few filler blocks I made a while back (nothing like using leftovers)...from a book called "Link to the 30s". The other reason the filler blocks were perfect...the background fabric matched the panel.
I snapped a picture as it came off the quilting frame, because I could see the quilting texture.
After the binding was done, a quick picture outside. Its a small quilt and will be hung somewhere in my bedroom....I think our mom would be pleased I finally used the panel.
Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
Very pretty wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have arranged and complimented the bird blocks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie. I can't believe that I am just now finding your blog! I'm from Louisiana
ReplyDelete, also, and I try to find and give a shout out to other La. bloggers. Nice to meet ya!
This pretty little quilt would definity have pleased my mom. She was a birder and a quilter. Those small corners and plusses are beautiful integrated into your bird panel. Surely the fabrics all came from the same line as the bird panel--the match is uncanny. Beautiful finish!
That's so pretty, Jamie, and what a tribute to your mom! Whoop whoop!!
