NEW CHRISTMAS BIRDS AND ALEX IS OFF TO THE QUILTER

It was finish it up week here.  Just have to get back to my Flower Garden project, and see if I can clear the mess off the floor and return the sewing room to some sort of order.  

The red bird improv mini is finished.  I hung it up in my sewing room above my sewing machine.  So many comments on them being Christmas birds.  That made me realize I had some really lovely Christmas neutral fabrics.  Maybe I should have done the entire quilt improv in them instead.  So yes, I have decided to remake the quilt as a truly Christmas project.

So I managed the four corner blocks.  I did make the pieces a bit larger to simplify the process.  Now to get the Christmas birds in the center section done. 

My Alex Anderson project is finished.  I did consider quilting it myself, but the sewing room is loaded with a number of UFO's that are suffering neglect and crying out for being finished.  So this little one is headed to the quilter for finishing.

  1. Your bird improv quilt turned out just great! I love the red birds, instead of blue (or maybe they are turquoise) as in the pattern. Now I really want to make that one!

  2. The birds are wonderful, and those are some beautiful Christmas neutrals - no wonder you wanted to make another one with them. :) Those are such pretty colors in your Alex Anderson quilt top.

  9. Pretty tops! Your cardinal piece reminded me that I haven't seen ours in a while. Perhaps they moved south this year.

  12. Your quilts are just beautiful! May I ask if the pattern is the same as the Birds of a Feather from my new book, Scrappy Improv Quilting? It surely looks the same! So pretty. They will look beautiful with Christmas neutrals.
