Birds of a different feather

Hello out there!  I have been staying busy at the sewing machine.  I finished a long  languishing Goodnight Irene quilt.  It was made of the last earth tone scraps I had from making two prior quilts from same scraps.  These colors are NOT colors that I am drawn to at all and that is probably why this project sat for so long.  As luck would have it my daughter and her boyfriend were in need of an outdoor/picnic quilt so I upsized it with borders and backed it with camo fabric and gifted it to them.  I consider it a win!  I Also gifted a Sailboat quilt to a cute two year old for his birthday.  As of late I have put together my scrappy bird blocks and am currently working on the scrappy borders.  This is an effort to use up my never ending supply of scraps.  This quilt makes me smile not only because of the riot of color but because there are pieces of nearly every quilt I’ve made.  I have several pieces of fabric my eldest daughter brought me back from her trip to Thailand and I plan to use one of the pieces for the back .  Indoor pics due to weather do not do the colors justice but I have to make do.  Until next time,
Maxine
