Bird Quilt...quilted

Quilt label

It's finally done!!!!  quilted and bound.  Remember the brown quilt block exchange that our Quilt Guild did last year?  Well, I finally took it to be quilted on a huge long arm machine.  I go to this really nice lady who has a shop, way out in the country.  She is the sweetest ever and is very reasonable with her prices.  She did a wonderful job quilting my quilt with a leaf pattern.  The 20 people who were in the exchange, had to use the same brown fabric but could put any other colors they wanted in their blocks.  I ended up with two blocks with pink in them and really didn't want to use pink on the front of the quilt, so I used them as part of my label on the back.  This is the quilt that I had to come up with 12 blocks to fill in between the others.  Since I had the bird fabric that I thought was so pretty, I came up with the idea of making 12 applique blocks with birds on them.  Worked out great!  My quilt is a piece of me and of 20 others in my quilt guild.  What a treasure I have!!
