Why Not Sew?: Birdies Holding a Quilt

Birdies Holding a Quilt

I hope y'all aren't tired of seeing these yet. This is the latest one. This doesn't look exactly how I pictured it, but I do like it. I was going to make the quilt be an actual quilt, you know, a little 3-D action, sew the top part onto the line and let the rest flow... like a quilt on a line. But I went with just sewing the whole thing down. The squares in the small quilt measure 1/2 inch. The smaller hexagons on the tree are 1/4 inch.

I had a difficult time choosing binding for this one. I MADE a few different bindings and didn't like them. I finally settled on this print and I think it was the best choice. All in all I love it in all it's imperfectness! I really enjoy the process of making them and that is what is matters, right?
