For the birds.

Well.. today I pulled out the fabrics and made everyone in the house rather anxious. It always seem to do that when I get real serious about a project. I think they can sense that there will be no regular meals and the clothes aren't going to wash themselves until this is done.
I found a rather nice focus fabric with an all over bird pattern batik. The tough part has been finding fabrics to co-ordinate since there are subtleties in the batik coloring, but I think I have found an interesting colorway to work with that should make this pop. In the interest of time, I am not going to do an elaborate pattern, but will stick with something simple in hopes of finishing this in a few weeks tops.
The center of the quilt is the bird fabric with a thin border. Around that will be a set of blocks using triangles in some manner and corner set blocks. Then there is to be a color block border followed by a simple outer border. All of this will be done in blues, greens, purple, red and brown.
I think it is going to look great.

Stay tuned....
