A Day at the (Bluebird) Park

Have y'all seen Kate & Birdie Paper Co's new line of fabric? Their first line was Winter's Lane which I swooned with. The second line is called Bluebird Park and it's adorable! There are birds, bunnies and bikes involved. And cute hedgies!!20131120-065545.jpgI'm teaching the Taffy quilt (a pattern by Jaybird Quilts) next quarter at Sewingly Yours so I decided to use Bluebird Park for my sample. Fabric choice on this quilt is quite important or you'll lose the pattern.20131120-063458.jpgI used the adorable bikes and birdies for my backing!20131120-063637.jpgThis is the year of FMQ for me, so I really tried to step it up! I used infinities, loops and shells with the quilting enhancing the piecing.20131120-063833.jpgI used the best thread for this quilt. I'm not usually a variegated gal, but I've fallen in love with this Aurifil variegated. It's color number 4060. It varies from creams to greys to taupes. And it's perfect for all quilting projects!20131120-065021.jpgI love the subtle color change in the quilting!20131120-065235.jpgI need to have another photo shoot with this quilt because I really love it! But thanks to Sue for being my holder in the Sewingly Yours parking lot:)xo LC
