HUmmingbird quilt/walllhanging for my Mom

My mom's going through some very difficult times. Part of her therapy is to have a "safe place" and a trigger word that can bring her there. Her safe place is her patio watching the hummingbirds and her trigger word is "humming" for hummingbird.

I recently found this applique pattern by Toni Whitney and knew it would be perfect for her. Hadn't done applique in a few years and even when I did do applique I didn't do anything with this many little pieces or overlapping pieces. It was more fun than I remembered.

Hummers are my favorite bird besides peacocks. This is gorgeous, and the border batik is one I haven't seen before. It ties everything together perfectly. Beautiful wall hanging.
