It turns out that green-centric WIPs are thin on the ground in my studio. So I pulled out an old group quilt project. I hated every minute of these birds & when my partners went ahead & finished on their own, I left it in the box. I don’t know how long ago we did this but it was long before COVID, so…..years.
One of my quilting partners gave me a gift for Christmas of free quilting, so I told her I would get the birds done & have her quilt it. She LOVES the birds, so that will be fun for her. These are the last two birds I needed to do before sashing & border.
I’ve since done a couple other quilts by The Pattern Basket & understand her method of pattern writing, plus I have more experience & all the things that frustrated me back then seemed no big deal now. So these went together quickly. I also got the first two rows sashed this week, but with two funerals this week, one of which included an overnight trip, I didn’t have much sewing time. But I’m thinking that even with the short month, I should stay on track with green blocks & maybe start the houses??
I love your green birds but they look a little ‘fussy’ to make. 🙂
Those green birds are great. Lucky you to be gifted with free quilting. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Totally fussy! 🙂
I also love the birds! They will make such a nice quilt!
The bird blocks are so sweet. I didn’t have much in the way of green UFOs or WIPs either. So I’m trying to finish up the large blue WIP from last month.
It’s a trend! Maybe we need more green quilts in our lives???
I can tell you are pleased to finally stitch the last of these birds. Free quilting, what a gift!
They are cute and what a great gift, to have a quilt quilted for you!
