I LOVE cardinals! I live in Illinois and it's the state bird and I've only seen one this year! Hopefully when it gets colder I will see more. I went to the library and borrowed 365 Foundation Quilt Blocks by Linda Causee . It has an awesome cardinal block in it (also blue bird, robin, a couple of doves and a hummingbird) enough for me to make a bird quilt. :)
Your birds look beautiful!
