Level: Beginner to Advanced—One day—No sewing machine required

Hummingbird Close up of silk hummingbirdClose
This quilt was inspired by the hummingbirds that visit my yard every year and buzz around all the flowers I plant to attract them into my garden. I plant Morning Glories by my mail box to twirl around the post and box and the Hummingbirds love to visit these trumpeting flowers through out the morning.

Using soft pastel colors for the background and vibrant green/aqua silk for the hummingbird this quilt will charm any viewer with it’s fun and whimsical nature.
