And of course, if it's Sunday, there have to be some quilts. You'll love these beauties. Spoiler alert: not all are whole quilts; some are blocks but that makes it easier to see the folds and seams.

I love all the ones that do something a bit 3D. Lots of food for thought!

I know, Kaja. Aren't they interesting? I know I'd want to run my hands over those quilts and play with the texture of those quilts. Of course, it would take forever to finish one if I spent my time just playing that way!

Are the birds cranes or doves? Either way they would be perfect for my baby quilt to represent wishes for peace or luck to the new baby.
Thanks so much for sharing this inspirational piece.

Hi Valerie, the first one with the pattern is a crane (for good luck) and the second one is a hummingbird. I've made a few of the crane in paper so now I guess I should try a few in fabric. It may be easier to fold paper into the right shape! I'm not very good at paper piecing: my brain gets confused when sewing the fabric on backwards.
Thanks for visiting,
Mary
