Bird Watching all the time
 

Well ladies & gent's I love nature. I know many of you don't like to use fabric panels...but they are fun for me to use. My daughter purchased most of the fabric in this for me. The bird panel she bought a year ago this month, in Dec. she purchased the bird houses for me....then I remembered the panel...so I combined them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]392390[/ATTACH] Now to the sandwiching...not sure how I wll quilt it yet. Anyway once it's done I can bird watch anytime.

Love how you combined the two. They look made for each other.

I don't frequently use panels because they are more challenging for me to use to make a bigger quilt. I did make a cool one for my dad with a panel. I also used to pick patterns based on whether or not I could adequately quilt using the walking foot. You did a great job with this panel.

Beautiful panel..

Just want to clearify...the center is the panel, I added the framing around it, the othe birds off the center is fabric I picked up at walmart just a couple days ago. the framing is left over from a couple years ago, it looks like birch logs.

Beautiful! You did a great job on this & I'm glad you explained what all the panel consisted of. I'm a bird lover and I love this quilt!

Beautiful work!

How lucky to have a panel and birdhouse fabric to join. Your DD picked out two winners. Great combo and beautiful quilt!

Lovey fabric Susan, and you have framed it beautifully. What are the gorgeous birds on your avatar please?

Blue birds are in my avatar

Thank you Susan, I'm afraid I don't know many American birds, but I do love them. Just want to share with you that we had our local friendly peacock call around for his breakfast just minutes ago. Always a delight to see him.

Beautiful quilt!

nicely done

Really like this and certainly looks more doable than the pattern I got today: paper piecing. I have only practiced this before. Love bird watching, so if you get tired of yours ....

that looks great together.

I designed the pattern myself....don't think I'll tire of it any time soon.

Lovely combination. Love to watch the birds myself, nothing as gorgeous as the cardinal in my garden!

I love it. The birdhouse border is just too cute. I like to use panels to make wallhangings, they are great for practicing your quilting also. I have several in my stash, have to get them out and make something out of them.

Just darling how you used the "logs" to make a fence. Very nice.

Also a bird watcher. Love your quilt. I used pics my husband took of birds at our feeders, printed them onto fabric and made them into a table cover quilt for our dinning room table. Came out great.

This is just super. Can you tell me where she got the bird houses. My son loves birds and really wants a bird quilt. For Christmas last year I got a bunch of birds houses and his children (boy 8 and girl 10) painted them. When I tried to tell them what colors the houses really should be painted I was told that what they were doing was known as Creative work. He now has some wild bird houses. But they are fun. Where did she get the panel? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. You put this together great. Thanks so much for sharing. BrendaK

Nicely done!

Great job on this! :)

very pretty!!!!

nice panel

LOve the quilt. I'm a real bird lover and can spend far too much time at the window watching them at the feeders and bath. In this cold weather, I go out several times a day to dump out the ice and fill with water. My little friends are very appreciative and have lots of fun splashing. Brrrrr - don't know how they do it! Wish I had some of those blue birds to watch.

Awesome combo-beautiful

Great job combining the two fabrics. I love the panel.

Beautiful wallhanging.

I made a wallhanging for my dining with the bird fabric like you have around the center. I love the brighness of the colors. I have off white walls and sheers and it really looks beautiful and adds lots of color.

That is adorable!! I love it. Great job.

I think it looks great!

Beautiful job, so pretty!

What a delightful quilt! I use panels occasionally too, because often they are too cute to pass up! Lovely quilt.

Panels are great to use sometime to get the quilt you want. Great job!

Up date....found perfect back, bee's with tiny
flowers...now we have a Birds & the Bee's quilt!:)

I love those bird panels!! I want some.

Wonderful. That is a beautiful panel. I'm so glad you will enjoy it now. I miss the birds in my back yard.

Beautiful! I love how busy this quilt is between the panel and the fun birdhouse border. Love this!
