The birds in this quilt are inspired by the birds my husband, Steve, studied during his recent sabbatical. He is a field biologist, and an avid bird watcher. This quilt brings his life's work and mine together!
All of the block patterns and instructions are included. Digital Downloads are delivered directly to your computer as PDF files that you can save and print on your own printer.
The bird blocks range in size from 15" x 15" up to 15" x 23"—bed size. I added a 5" inner border and 3" outer border to all sides of my bed-sized quilt. These borders are pieced from what remained of the Tilda fat quarter bundles that I started with. The final quilt, with borders, measures 88˝ x 88˝.
Also included with each block pattern are reduced-size blocks to make a wall-size quilt. These blocks range in size from 10" x 10" to 10" x 15 1/4". The wall quilt, with borders, will finish about 60" x 60".
I do have a Pinterest board with photos of the real birds, here's a link. I am using 'real' bird colors in my quilt, but your birds can be any color. I am very excited to see what you come up with!
