My parrots are coming together. Started in jan they take a lot of time, but i wanted a challenge. Hopefully off to the quilters in may. This was a kit fabric kona solids.Never used this fabric before anyone else used this as as much as i press it still seems a little wrinkled. Someone told me that's the way the fabric is .Wont be notably with all the feathers. lol

Oh but they are so cute!! If you find they are taking too long to make, you might try putting something else between the rows--like palm trees or maybe coconuts or even a row of tropical huts. The black background really makes those birds POP!! Is it hard to work with?

Yes, the black background really works well! I made a small version of this pattern as a baby quilt ... love it!

Adorable! I like the black background too. It really makes the parrots stand out.

That's a really gorgeous top so far! You are doing a stellar job on it.

Very nice! It will be a very pretty quilt when completed.

Beautiful, colorful and well done. Love this!

These are beautiful! I would love to make this too. I had a parakeet when a child and when it died we buried it in a large matchbox. I don’t see any wrinkles. All I see is beauty. Love it!

You are doing a superb job of piecing those birds! It's going to be a delightful quilt. Now I'm thinking about getting the pattern, but wow, what a lot of work it would be!

Are those parrots foundation pieced or regular piecing, and if they are regular piecing, are they hard to do?

Gotta love parrots! Do you have a parrot?

I agree - your parrots are beautiful. Nice work!

Wow I can see why they take so long but I'm sure the final quilt will be well worth it.
