I too have this panel and love what you've done with it. Is this an original or did you use a pattern? Which pattern is it? Thanks so much!

Had I seen the finished projects separately, I would like them both but seen side-by-side I prefer the wider strips because the tree seems larger and airier and the birds more naturally grouped.

I designed it. It's pretty easy if you draw it out--mark things up--label the block numbers. Five blocks have the strips one way, five another way, and two another. Just print off the picture and study it. It's important which side is sewed on first.

Sounds easy enough. What is the order to sew on the strips? stealing your idea I know but I've had this panel so long and didn't know what to do with it till now. Thanks for sharing it!

Thank you!

Aww--Helen--I'm glad it gave you ideas! I sure get a lot of ideas from other quilters, so it's nice to be able to pay it forward. ;-)
PS Don't forget to number your blocks! :-) |
You had a tough choice to make! I've looked and looked at these, and it appears that the larger one is closer, as if you're standing almost up to a window. The narrow sashing on the other is as if the window is a little farther away. I'm glad you chose to keep the one you liked better--space requirements aside. Both really pretty.
