It fits my small quilt stand! The goldfinch was carved and painted by my Dad--he loved to carve all kinds of birds and fish!
I have another Dina quilt in the works. It will have to wait though, as I'm participating in the Stripology 2024 Virtual Retreat this weekend--Friday through Sunday!
I've also got 4 quilts coming up to share with you as part of the Villa Rosa Designs blog hop!!! The fun starts tomorrow, Thursday, on the Villa Rosa blog. My day on the hop is Wednesday, March 20th! Make sure you stop in and comment to win some great prizes!
Check out the quilt parties at Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle & Thread Thursday, Put Your Foot Down, TGIFF, Finished Or Not Friday, Off the Wall Friday, From Bolt To Beauty, Whoop Whoop, Patchwork & Quilts, Oh Scrap.
A fun design with the overall impression of lines but reality they are broken up in small places :)
ReplyDeleteCute design! Have fun at that retreat. You always walk away with so many finished quilt tops! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2024/03/13/wednesday-wait-loss-371
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever design! Thanks for sharing it. Your version turned out very well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great design and I love all those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun design - and pretty fabric for it, too! I love that your quilting has birds in it. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got in on the upcoming hop too! Love your Dina, I have been seeing lots of them online. Nice that you can use from your stash for the backing also.
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are great and the quilting is 'just right'! Thanks for including the pattern link...I checked it out. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun design! Love your version! And I really love the carved bird by your Dad! He was talented! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting and fun design and the bonus quilt is as cute as a button. Love the little goldfinch too- such an amazing piece. The bonus quilt looks perfect paired with it. Have a fabulous day, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see what you make with all your GEDesigns fun, and I love that little mini quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I love that block! Your mini is perfect. Love the carved bird, my hubby carves ducks, so it was fun to your bird.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt - it reminds alot of another one she did a few years ago. The backs you are doing are fabulous and I love the little bonus ones you are making now, too! Fun quilting pattern, I will go grab it because who can turn down a free pattern! Have a blast this weekend. I will be quilting my SAHRR....once I apply some seaglass I think.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt pattern really allows the fabric to shine! Love your birds theme as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your posts I really want to channel some of your energy!!! You have the best times haha!! LOVE this new quilt - and the mini!! So sweet - what a great way to hang it!!
ReplyDeleteSo interesting the way the "ribbon" seems to weave in and out of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteThat’s really cute
ReplyDeleteI liked this GE pattern. It's a great way to show off larger prints. The quilting on your mini is perfect! Thank you for sharing the story of the bird. You had an extra special dad!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThat is a really interesting and effective design. i agree that it can show off prints really well. Lovely fabric collection, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric collection, and this pattern is perfect for featuring them beautifully! I love the tiny music notes ;) The Boho Birds quilting pattern is elegant and is a pretty finish for your quilt! Cute mini too, and you Dad made a gorgeous little bird!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all these beauties!
Cool quilt - what a great pattern. What a great finish.
