Birdy Quilt.


We had a poor bare area of wall in our hall which I felt desperately needed a nice cosy quilt to keep it warm.

I fell in love with Valori Wells range of fabrics called "Nest" and decided to use the birds panel as a central design surrounded by borders. I free motion quilted it. There's a section of spiral quilting just above the middle bird which I don't like but can't face pulling it out.

There's a strange rumour going round that we may get some sun on Monday. We may all melt!

My jaw actually hit the floor when I saw this quilt!! It is gorgeous. How long did it take to make?

I think the quilting is great, you are too hard on yourself. Leave it as is, it looks wonderful.
