I did have a marbled orange fabric for the bird wing and changed it after finding the Kaffe fabric in local quilt shop. I cut the wing and tail from the center of a large paisley.
Really made a big difference, just the zing thebird needed.
This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!
