Love Birds, Grey, Queen Size

The "Love Birds" quilt was a joy to create.  I loved making the "Flying Geese" blocks which are the triangles of pinks and magentas with the grey background. I love the irony of this block being a bird related block for a quilt that is all about birds. And I also found a gorgeous watercolor bird fabric at a Quilt Show in Portland, Oregon to be a focal point in the quilt. They both tie together perfectly.  I wanted this handmade, patchwork quilt to be a joyful addition to your bedroom, which is why I chose flying geese in colors of bright pinks, purples and magentas to balance out the pattern fabric of the watercolored birds and flowers. I chose a heavy weight cotton/wool blend of batting inside to provide a lot of warmth.  And I chose the straight line top quilting to emphasize the direction of the flying geese and to draw your eye to the intricate piecing.  Let this bold, modern, bohemian style quilt bring a statement to your home.   This quilt includes: • Heirloom Quality Cons
