Birds Roosting Baby Quilt, 45 inches square
My One Block Baby Quilt, “Birds Roosting” is all done. It was lots of fun to quilt. Here are some of the details.
There is scalloped quilting under the birds so it looks like they are sitting on a nest…or a hammock!
There are uneven scalloping “feathers” in the orange blocks around the central focal square.
There are free motion quilted bird nests in each of the hot pink cornerstone squares.
Tracking around the turquoise leafy triangles in a stitch built into my Bernina that always reminds me of bird tracks!
I wasn’t sure i could stitch out the four nests but drew a quick diagram and realized that it was totally doable…not that different from the free motion flowers I stitch often! All four nests are a little different…but then they would be in real life!
The backing in an airy leafy fabric I had in my stash from last summer which is just perfect!
I don’t know if the baby is a girl or a boy. With all the colors, I think the quilt is really gender neutral, but I put on a blue binding to balance off those hot pink cornerstone blocks and the light pink triangles at the edge of the quilt.!
For more information about this quilt and the focus fabric “Roosting Place” see my post from June 9, 2022.
I’m super happy with how this quilt came out!
