Here is a picture of my cardinal wall hanging.[ATTACH=CONFIG]381990[/ATTACH]

Eleanor Burns has a lovely book out called "Quilts Through the Seasons". Under the winter section there is a Lodgepole Pine Quilt that can be made in many sizes and there is an optional Red Cardinals section on page 52. Perhaps this might appeal to you. Happy holidays and quilting!

Have you seen this one? http://www.countryjunktion.com/blocks/Cardinal.html

I'm starting one now. It's cardinals that I am fussy-cutting and then putting a border around each block and doing 12 X13 blocks.

Here the one I have saved that is applique but very easy.

The cardinal from thimblebug6000 is just gorgeous.

Oh, was just now able to get on the QB after a day or two... MORE beautiful cardinals!! Thank you everyone for sharing these resources!!! You all are the BEST!!! I'm going into OKC today and will look for Eleanor Burns book, too!

Love you all!!!

I am very poor at applique so I opted for the cardinal fabric, fussy cutting and framing the cardinals in a pieced block. Pretty fast and not too difficult over all.[ATTACH=CONFIG]382133[/ATTACH]
