This is a quilt I will be giving away to someone that is ill. I am going to place a flannel backing so they can cuddle up in it. Have one cut out for a man. Thinking of placing Prairie Points for the border.

Very pretty! I love the birds. I'm sure it will get "cuddled" a lot!

Beth this is so pretty. I love the hummingbird theme. Are the hummingbirds embroidered on? This should cheer the person who is ill up. It is so pretty! I think the prairie points would be beautiful as a border.

I just love hummingbirds. I have 3 feeders outside my diningroom window in the summer and love to watch them. I make my own nectar and fill the feeders with it. They just love it and come back every year. A pair nested from a piece of wire hanging from the ceiling in my unfinished garage last year and came back again this year to the same nest. I had to take it down this year because the ceiling was being done. They really do use spider webs to keep their nests together. I could fit my thumb inside the nest. The babies were so cute. One day I was outside finishing up an oil painting and I heard this humming by my ear and low and behold it was one of the little birds, attracted by my perfume. Thought you might like the story.
