I *love* bird quilts! Did you use a pattern? The birds are really lovely!

Me too - I love birds and that quilt is exquisite. Is it paper pieced or applique? The string quilt is beautiful also.

Oh my, that applique is stunning!

Striking quilts. You are very talented :D

I absolutely love the bird quilt! May I ask if you used a pattern and if so, where did you get it from?

pattern is called "Birds on View" by Alice Wilhoit. Google her name and you'll get her site with the pattern on it.

Wow!

This is lovely. You do very nice work.

I would love to have that bird quilt on the wall behind my sewing machine. what a lovely quilt to look at!!!

That is so pretty. It's like looking through the window and seeing the birds.

Very nice! I love it!

That is gorgeous! :thumbup:

I am just in love with this quilt! I have a thing for birds, and your quilt is exquisite!!

Your birds are outstanding. Lovely.

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Love your bird quilts

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful work.

Oh that is gorgeous! Can I have it? I love the birds. I have wanted to do one like it for so long. Hmmmm might have to get ready for another one--will I live long enough to do all I want to? I keep trying to nail them down.

Love your bird quilt! Beautiful fabric.

it is just beautiful

love the birds

That is beautiful! Love the birds!

WOW

Beautiful!!!!!!

Your quilts are gorgeous the birds look so alive building there nest and singing.

You are just moving right along! It is so pretty! Saw a post the other day with just a few blocks, you are on a roll!

I do work quickly. I get bored easily! I don't do any handwork because of a physical problem. I use fusible web and a buttonhole stitch or just raw edge straight line stitching around each piece. I have washed some quilts made in this manner several times and not had a problem. I also have been using the QAYG method for the last several months. So with the fusible applique and the QAYG it finishes us really quickly. I love Alice Wilhoit's patterns and especially this one because I so enjoy watching the backyard birds. Thanks for all your encouraging comments.

I have decided on the border for my Birds on View quilt. Alice Wilhoit had a floral stripe for her border but I don't have anything in my stash and don't want to get out today. I think I saw a border similar to this in a Quilters Newsletter issue but I couldn't find it. What do you think? It isn't to busy is it? Thanks

UPDATE - Almost finished. Just need to stitch down a few leaves and then bind! The pattern is by Alice Wilhoit and I made the border because I didn't have a stripe that looked good.

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous. I love what you did with the border. It's so much prettier than a stripe would have been.

Beautiful quilts. I just love birds.

Polly, that is stunning! I love your string quilt too. You are very talented!! So glad you shared with us.

It came out awesome. I love it.

Your applique is so real! It's like looking out of window panes at an amazing tree filled with real birds.
