The Flock is Together

 I started this quilt at the beginning of the year
and then put the birds that I had made away.
Some of the birds must have flown south for the winter
and it has taken them this long to come back.  :)

All of the birds are together and sewn into a finished quilt top.


 
 
Originally, I had made three bird blocks for the Queen Bee
for the Gridsters and the pattern was free on Block Lotto.
I can't find it there today, but it is on the Missouri Star website



 
 
Choosing the fabrics for these birds is so much fun.
The more colorful, the better.
I had the black and white swirls in my stash and love the
pops of color with the cornerstones.
 
 

 
 
They are all sewn together, so they won't fly away again!
(It's a very dreary day here today, so the photos are a little dark.)
 
Happy Quilting!

Very pretty bird quilt. The colors in the blocks are so cheerful and the sashing fabric really ties it all together. I agree, the cornerstones add the perfect little pop to it.

What wonderful birds of all colors! Great job to get them together and forward on the project. We all have those blocks just hanging around. So many ideas, so much fabric, and so little time.

I am glad your snowbirds made it home safely! That black and white swirl really is perfect for it.
