Sometime ago, I painted a little painting that featured a red bird basking in the sunshine. I thought the design would make a great applique project. So I recently drew out the pattern and made this small quilted wallhanging. It hangs in my front entryway.
I used machine applique (my preferred method because it is faster!) and added some simple quilting. Yes, I actually pieced those little red squares!
It came out pretty close to the original painting. So what do you think?

Love…Love…Love it!!! You are going to do more of these, right? I would think they would be a hit at quilt shows.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I would like to do more, only quilting takes a lot longer than watercolor. I just need to make the time.
