Hello out there!
Aren't you feeling very unruly?
Here's a little quilt (27" x 40") that I finished this week. I found the "HOW TO" about the birds in a fun book called Hot Flashes of Inspiration by Kandi Kelderman and Kim Schissel.
Here's a close-up of one of the blocks. I quilted the whole thing side to side with straight lines about 1/2 inch apart. It took a while, but gave the quilt a neat texture and feel.

Nice work! I haven't tried just straight quilting lines yet. I always do the wavy back and forth.
yay!!!
Your birds are wonderful, they each have their own character.
Oh, do more posting here!
I love the birds. I have this fascination for birds, trees, houses and chickens. No idea why that contamination. I really love the straight line quilting. it just feels different from everything else.
Joe Tulips - my "straight" lines aren't really straight. I tried that once and it made me CRAZY. For this and others like it, I marked the center to get started, then just followed the edge of the presser foot - sometime making spaces a little wider, a little narrower. The over all appearance pleases me.
I love birds! This looks great.
Those are darling birds!
oh I have this pattern-from block lotto by Jean-sophie Wood too!
yours are so fun! thanks for sharing...
i just adore these birds from Sophie! I have a pile of them waiting to be assembled into a quilt as i asked for this as a bee block! gotta make some time!!!
great finish!
i luv this blog and wish more people would post here
Beautiful colors and fabric choices for this project. Nice!
I'm curious when that book was published. I've seen these birds on a blog and thought that quilter had come up with the idea... don't remember who it was right now.
