Joan, from Moose Stash Quilting is hosting this fun blog hop!
Here’s what she had to say about the hop:
| Challenge: Angry birds, crazy birds, whimsical birds, or flying geese. If it’s a bird, this is their time to show their colors |
I had a ton of ideas for this hop, but I decided to finish a UFO. That makes sense, doesn’t it? This quilt is made of panels. The tree in the background are the same in each panel, so that made it easy to mix and match the bird houses and the birds. It takes a bit of pinning to make sure that the tree limbs line up, but I love the end result!
