Tree Bird Hop

Hello all and welcome to my
stop on the Tree Bird Hop!!

I was really unsure on just
what to create with the cute
little birdie fabric.

And then I had a bit of inspiration.
I decided to go BIG!!
Like the biggest quilt that I have
EVER made.
 
It is not yet quilted but,
I am all done piecing it.
 
 
 
 
It is around 100" x 110"
with over 1000 pieces and
42 blocks.
The bird fabric is from
Elizabeth's Studios  and it is just beautiful.
I used a variety of blue tones
of Kona and AMB Clothwork Solids and
I pieced it with my favorite thread, Aurifil.
 
 
I do believe that I will
have to hand quilt it
because of the size.

 
 
 
Go and check out the
other great hoppers
today!!
 
Friday, March 20
 

 
 
 
 P.S. Stay tuned for a HUGE giveaway that
will be coming very soon.

    Great, Amy, really, this is a wonderful big quilt, I love piecing big quilts, but when it goes to quilting, I mostly shake my head and think, why did you always think so big ??? LOL!
    Love your design, are you going to quilt it by yourself?

    Your quilt is beautiful and it is super that it is so large. I am amazed that you are going to quilt it by hand but I think that will make it even more special. The blocks show off the birds so nicely.

    Amy ... this quilt is striking and gorgeous! I love the blue fabrics you have used. Wonderful use of the bird fabrics. I like the new block you used, too. Looks like the same as in one of your Accuquilt blocks. Nice block. Are you planning to make this a new pattern in your shop? Hand quilting this big beatiful quilt will be a labor of love. Looking forward to seeing more as you quilt ... :) Pat
