Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Fantastic Birds

EDIT 11/14/2019: I am oh, so sorry that I did not post this photo and link to Preeti's bird quilt. How could I? I'm sorry Preeti. Truly. It hangs out in the studio where Milly can kiss it when she comes in. She loves them. 

The word fantastic here takes on the meaning of fantasy. Birds that artists like to invent. Here are a few examples from the art world.

Heart Strings & Raven Wings: Fine Art Bird Print


So how does one turn fantasy into a quilt? Well, quite easily I'm not entirely sure this first one is a quilt. It's a sewn art piece (I assume) that may have quilted segments. It's on the Bernina website.
