I discovered this wonderful quilt festival while reading my very creative and talented cousin's blog, Dolly's Home. So I decided to join in the fun! My entry is Birdwatching, which I made several years ago. It was based on a pattern in the spring 2000 Quiltmaker's All-time Favorites. I changed the colors of course, and made a lot of the birds look like the ones that visit my yard, like the goldfinch, robin, bluejay, and junco.
This is my favorite quilt since I used to be an avid birdwatcher, and I love all things having to do with nature and animals. It was also one of the first that I machine quilted. I did part of it using meandering, the sashing with an ivy leaf pattern, and outline quilting for the birds.
I hope you enjoyed my entry. I am so inspired by all of the talented quilters who entered the festival and intend to visit each and every one as time allows.
