My Birds

My appliqued birds quilt is finally finished! I used a pattern called In the Meadow as the basis for the birds, although, with the help of a friend, I shrank the patterns by about 80%. I also added the half square triangles as sashing between the squares.
The borders were quilted using my long arm machine and then quilting in the bird squares was done on my regular sewing machine.

The whole quilt:
