Sparrows Quilt

Gail pieced this sweet Sparrows quilt, the pattern is by Pen & Paper Patterns.  She used a dark teal background and the birds are made with solid blue, green and yellow, and two prints that ties is all together.

We though feathers would look lovely on this quilt so I used the Bountiful Feathers pantograph by Lorien Quilting.  I used a dark teal So Fine thread on top, a Magna Glide brown bobbin and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Gail brought the perfect backing called Winter Visitors by Robert Kaufmann.

Love how the quilt looks like it is floating in this next picture but you can see Tim's shadow.

Its starting to warm up here but still a lot of snow left on the ground. It makes it challenging to walk on as it is still knee deep in many places.
