On the Wing ~ Pieced Back




Here is the pieced back of my 


I had extra 

and


 large triangle "leftovers" from cutting fabrics for some of my blocks


so I created a new block so as not waste this beautiful fabric



I am pretty happy with the results.


I found enough of this light green scroll fabric in my stash to complete the backing.

I am really loving all the Beautiful Birds in the 



Sew beautiful!

Beautiful Bird Tree Blog Hop

                                                     
                                              
"Birds On The Wing"

Here they look adrift on a bank of snow in my backyard.

It is not easy for me to go out and take good photos right now.

Nor is it easy to do everyday things.

My vision is healing much more slowly than I had hoped after this surgery.

After the procedure on the first eye, I had a baby quilt pieced and quilted in two weeks.

This time is a different story.

          I had planned to have at least two projects with these beautiful fabrics for you.

I am sorry that did not happen but I here is my project.

My top is done and I am working on getting it quilted.

Healing is one day and one stitch at a time.


This quilt design is my own.

I was inspired by these

Beautiful Birds by Tracy Lizzote for Elizabeth's Studio

fabrics to design this quilt!

                             
            
I <3 this quilt in the making!


           This is the top to my new spring sofa quilt.

It is a new pattern that I have created for these fabrics.


I am calling this pattern "On The Wing".


I carefully cut and placed all the directional fabrics and will be posting about this on March 30th.

More details soon!


Here is a block for the backing that I made from scrap triangles and fabric.

I sewed this into the back of my quilt ...

I love the movement in this pattern so much that I will be making again
it in these solids as soon as I am able.

This new pattern is in the test stage of development and I hope to release it soon.

If you are interested in testing, please send me an email.

Thank you for stopping by today!

     Please be sure to fly into all the beautiful bird trees today

The Beautiful Birds are flying in soon!



Katniss says, "No sneak peaks!"

Here she is perched atop the large bookcase where I have my temporary design wall.

I was trying to fold down the batting to pin up my project and she is having none of it.
She thinks the batting is there for her comfy convenience.
She does have her very own basket up there to curl up in
... but she obviously did not wish to be disturbed
... or she wished to catch the birds
... or my hand.
Katniss is quite fiesty sometimes.

Katniss says that you must come back Friday to see our birds.





Thanks Lana and Madame Samm

for organizing this wonderful hop.

It shall be a breath of spring air!
