Birds in the garden

This top is done :) It is perfect for big pattern fabrics. I was not quite sure I liked this top frankly .....until I put the birds on the quilt. For me it was lacking a story and now it has one :)








You see the blue squares? Those were a pain in the neck!!! Not because they were hard to cut or sew, They were hard to choose lol. I auditioned so many fabrics....I tried different yellow to see if I wanted to use a complimentary color


nope

Triadic ?

burk

Use the little bit of green on the flower fabric?

Oh god no

Analogous?

Pale blue didn't worked but finally the dark blue worked. I usually do not have that much trouble lol

  3. The birds are a sweet little addition to your pieced blocks. I think the blue you chose is reminiscent of the sky. Bravo!

  4. Some quilts just have to be difficult, don't they? Bugs me when the color we think would work doesn't, and the whole stash gets upended to find the right fit. Love the birds on this - great touch! Thanks for sharing on Midweek Makers
