Brand new today: the "Birds of a Feather" quilt and pattern. This is a mid century modern quilt that is quick to make because the triangles are made by eye, no fussy measuring or cutting. The colors have a retro vibe, think: Lucy Ricardo's dresses. And each block uses one fat quarter. Little waste.
See the pattern here: Birds of a Feather quilt.
This quilt measures 55" x 72," a twin quilt, a little on the small side. Or a generous throw. Perfect for bird watching or reading on your porch. "Would you like some tea and cookies? Yes please."
I quilted this on my Juki 98-Q home sewing machine (not a longarm). It's free-motion stippling using thread that matches each block. The bobbin thread is gray, matching the tiny print. The little triangles aren't quilted. That way the birds appear to fly above the surface of the quilt. I like the high contrast between the triangles and the backgrounds.

"Birds of a Feather" is the new name for the "Bungalow" quilt.
