Flowers and Birds
2021

Machine pieced; machine quilted

“At Christmas 2019, my daughter and my daughter-in-law gave me a roll of beautiful fabrics with a variety of fall colors. Life went on, and another quilt got more attention, so I didn’t start the Flowers and Birds one until 2021. I designed the piece, adding motifs as I went. I bought the yellow fabric to enhance the fall colors of the gift fabric. I chose the leaves for the quilting stitching because they are repeated on some of the fabrics, and because it’s a stitch I’ve practiced.”
