Red Bird Quilt step one
 

I saw a wall hanging online and decided to blow it up to throw size for DD who lives on Red Bird Court! This is step one. It is a great feeling to be creating something again - to want to sew - after 7 months of illness. Will post steps as they are done. The 'branches' and 'bird' are just pinned down in this photo. I have since fused them. Plan to do a tiny machine blanket stitch over all the raw edges.

You are off to a beautiful start. So glad you are feeling better.

I hope you are feeling better too. I love red birds. Yours is going to be beautiful when you get it done. Thanks for sharing.
