I have fallen in love with freezer paper piecing. I found these stunning bird patterns from Germany and have made 2 out of a set of 6 for a wall hanging for a friend. I am so very happy with how these have turned out, that i cannot wait to make a couple more different birds. The birds will be bordered with black and professionally quilted. Approx 11 inches by 7 inches. I cannot wait to see the finished wall hanging. ;-)

If you use freezer paper, you stitch next to the folded edge and DO NOT SEW onto the paper then fold and iron. The removal of paper is so easy, you just pull and it comes off in seconds. Fantastic.
