68" x 68" Kit & Step by Step Instructions $99.96
This beautiful quilt is made with traditional piecing, set on point, in rich hues of brown, gold, green, and red fabrics that accent the gorgeous, handpainted songbird panel. You will be creating a stunning 68 x 68 throw which hi-lights five of the six birds ~ the Wren, Nuthatch, Cardinal, Titmouse, Christmas Robin and Chickadee. These fabrics are not limited to the holidays at all! With its warm colors and a little sparkle, it's so beautiful you can leave it out all winter. We'll demo each of the blocks and you'll get a long way to finishing this quilt.
