This weekend I realized that apart from BOM's and the tumblers that I am using as "leaders and enders" (plus that never ending hand quilting!), I wasn't working on a particular project.
When I was sorting through my stash to decide on what to work on next, I found these 8 leftover Alabama Variation blocks from the Thread Head Quilt Along.
I pieced another block to add to them -
Then made an applique to add to the center. I designed a brown bird because of all the robin babies that are around the yard. I used the freezer paper method for this applique.
It is 27" square table topper or wall hanging. I used wool batting and Aurifil thread top and bottom, except for the applique where I used Invisafil thread on top.
I quilted lines with the walking foot through the black squares. I free motion quilted feathers around the bird and
feathered wreaths in all the squares.
I am pleased that I finally used the leftover blocks and now I can start on a new project.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥
