From the Vault - Hummingbird Quilt

Last week when I showed you some Project Linus quilts, one of them had some bird fabric with a white background.  I mentioned I made an entire quilt out of that fabric, and today we're going to take a look at it.

It's 53" x 64".  I don't remember if it's from a pattern or a magazine, but I do know I made it two years ago.

This is a crop of the back so you can see the focus fabric.  I used several other prints from the same collection.

The main block is a nine patch.  Here you can see one of the coordinating fabrics in the blue rectangles.

This is why I call it Hummingbird Quilt.

Another nine patch.

This is the sashing.  It looks complicated, but it's not.  The blue rectangles and the two-inch squares to the right and left of them are from the nine patch.  The mottled green square is something I pieced to strips of a coordinating stripe.  This green square is where the horizontal and vertical striped fabric meets.  If you go back and look at the whole quilt (first photograph), you can see it pretty clearly.

The outer border is the focus fabric.  Inner blue border was from my stash.  And the pieced border to the left is the inner, inner border, I guess you would call it.

The back.  The bright strip at the top is the sleeve.  The block in the middle is the label.

Very simple, straight line quilting, because I hate to quilt.
