Tweet Tweet more Free Motion Applique..

I made a new mini yesterday. Can I just say that I love it?! I know I say that a lot but it's true. This color combination is really appealing to me. Pretty much anything combined with aqua is appealing to me. It had been a while since I made some sketchy birds and I have a lot of fun making them so I made some :) I have an idea for another one that's a little different and I'm really excited about it. I think I will work on that this week.

I love the patchwork border. The other ones I made like this had no borders and I quilted the background of the birds. For this one I left the birds alone and quilted the patchwork with straight lines. One more to add to my "someday" quilt wall.

jo sasser said...: i stumbled upon this listed on etsy and i had to track you down! it's just the cutest damn thing i've ever seen! aqua + orange are our master bedroom colors, but you're right - aqua goes with everything. currently trying to see if the change jar is full enough to buy it . . .
