After my grandpa passed away in May I decided to make wallhangings for each of his children and grandchildren out of his clothes. This is the first one that I am making, and I think it is turning out nice. Only 6 more hummingbirds, and two eagles to go. This is also the first stained glass quilt that I have made, and it is really easy so far.

That's a very thoughtful gift to pass along. I've never used mixed fabrics when doing the stained glass, have you got wools, polys, cottons all in there? Are you making your own bias or is is premade?

Oh no, that's not 'nice'....that's absolutely exquisite!!!!! Whatever you used for the wings, B-E-A-T-I-F-U-L! The texture it has makes it look like feathers. WOW! Your so good to make these for your family. They will remember both of you when they look at it. Originally Posted by catchergirl01

Can I ask where you got the pattern? My sister loves hummingbirds.
