Bluebirds in Spring Wall Hanging Pattern
Summer is upon us, finally! Birds are singing, trees are leafing out, picnics are planned. One way we quilters celebrate the seasons is with quilts. Quilt designer Judy Caysinger looks forward to the bluebirds nesting in her yard so much that she created a wall quilt from a photo she took of them last summer. This pattern called, appropriately enough, Bluebirds in Spring. This easy, fusible web appliqué can bring lifelike bluebirds to your home wherever you live. She used mostly batiks, with Fairy Frost fabric for the dogwood blossoms.
