Simply Scarlet is its name.
 

I am diligently trying to finish up some projects that I've ignored for a long time.
This guy has found a home on my sewing room wall.
I love cardinals.

That is pretty and cheerful. Good to finish up those UFOs.

Very nice, love cardinals

great job...

Very nice Cardinal.

That's so pretty! I love them too.

he's beautiful, nice job

I really like your pieced background - I never think of doing that. It occurs to me that that may be why my one effort at something like this looked so flat and blah. Thanks so much for posting this inspiration!

He's a doll - a cheery guy for a snowy winter day, too!

So pretty and lovely work.. Good job on completing a UFO...

Love this big guy!!! Great Job!!

I bought this as a kit so I can't take credit for the nice fabric choices in the package.

He turned out great! Love looking at cardinals at our feeder!

I’m rather fond of cardinals, too. You did a beautiful job!

He is beautiful. BrendaK

so lovely......the boundary is a nice touch

Really nice!

Great looking cardinal. He will look so majestic and beautiful on your sewing room wall. I'm glad you finished it and by so doing, you encourage all of us to finish some things that just hide away in the shelves.

Oh I love cardinals too. He's adorable. Great finish! Are you in the quilting board's 2018 UFO group?

What a nice addition to your sewing room. I have a pair of cardinals at our feeder this winter...they are beautiful against the white snow.

What technique did you use to get this stained glass effect? And is it paper pieced? I love it.

No, I am just trying to finish some things in anticipation of shoulder surgery soon.
I should do this on a yearly basis, UFO’s not surgery!

This was a kit that I purchased at the Houston International Quilt Festival a couple years ago. Barbara Jones was the designer. It is not paper pieced, I used fusible backing on the pieces. I should learn paper piecing too.

He's beautiful. Nice fabric choices.

What a great find! I'd like that one on my wall.

Will brighten a wall out table.

Cardinals always cheer up the day! Lovely work.

Lovely piece! He's a handsome fellow, great pieced background, and fun black/white border too. :)

That is just gorgeous! Fantastic job!

He is so great!!!

Looks fantastic and a nice cheerful addition to your sewing room.

Thank you for pointing out the pieced background. It had not registered with me but you are right about its impact.

And Flikkem, your cardinal is gorgeous - very regal.

What a wonderful work of art! That is beautiful.

A beautiful finish.

Great cardinal! Best wishes on your shoulder surgery.

I love cardinals too and yours is lovely and brightens up the room!

Beautiful mini--love cardinals
