Redwork Birds
 

This one is for the golf tournament auction this October. I am hoping to get many more items finished to help the diabetic kids support. Hubby is still the president of the organization here and asked me to help out this year. So, it begins.

I had these 12 red work blocks and wanted to use them for a hanging, so I raided the stash and came up with this design. I hope it suits someone's fancy. I used the last two on the back so none would be left after it was finished.

So, here is the quilt, the back and a close up. Not very good pics but I hope you can get the idea.

Beautiful quilt, Red! Hope it raises lots of money for such a great cause.

Those birds are just beautiful. I am sure that one will bring in lots of money for your charity. I recognize the fabric you used for your backing. Had a bunch from that line :-)

That's gorgeous, Red. I hope it brings in lots of money for the cause.

It should suit anyone's fancy. It is beautiful! I love the redbirds and none seem to be repeated. I may have just one of the designs, but I have to ask if they were a set? I like the fabrics, too and no one could have done a better job, for such a cause. Let us know the results from the auction. I once donated to a cause and was very pleased with the outcome. I went, just to see. I had told my husband if they went cheap, I'd buy them back! I didn't need to-lol-I'd wish you good luck, but you won't need it!-Toogie

Beautiful quilt! Love the birds, and love the way you took two simple blocks and made such a stunning quilt!

Your red-work is fantastic! The perfection of each piece it ideal! This quilt is so beautiful. All the detail breathes life into each selection. Thanks for sharing this exquisite work of art.

I bought the set of twelve birds off E Bay about seven months ago. Best I can remember. They were very reasonable. So, why not? I know how long it takes to stitch them out on the machine, so I figured why not support a fellow quilter? The person used two layers of cut away stabilizer and that was a pain to remove, but, no matter, the stitching was lovely.
Thanks so much for all the nice comments, girls. I just hope it sells well.

Oh, that would suit my fancy & someone is going to get a gorgeous quilt. I hope it brings hundreds & hundreds of dollars at the auction to help the kids. You did an outstanding job on it (as you do on all your quilts!). It's totally beautiful!!!

Beautiful quilt, good luck.

What a lovely quilt! The colors are perfect with those beautiful birds.

The birds are framed nicely and I love how you pieced the back. very nice, it will make a great quilt for someone!

Beautiful quilt for your auction and the kids!

The birds are beautiful and the snowballs and nine patch pattern frames them so well.

It is very pretty!

Beautiful! The pattern and colors set the blocks off great!

Beautiful quilt and great design. Love how you put the extra blocks on the back. Certainly hope it brings a lot of money at the auction

Thank you girls so much! I am working on a summer set now. It is a lap quilt, pillow and a tote bag to keep it all together for traveling. More of the stash is being used. Yay! I hope it turns out as cute as I think it will be.

The birds look so great in that layout. Very nicely done.

I really like the snowballs and nine patch layout. It really sets off your beautiful birds.

Beautiful quilt! I hope it brings lots of $$$$.

What a great looking quilt! Someone will love it. Best of luck!

Beautiful quilt! Hope it brings in lots of $$ for your auction.

Stunning quilt! That redwork represents a lot of work and attention to detail. I am very impressed.

It's beautiful! I would be fighting over it in an auction!
