Sparrows
By Ann Weber
A traditionally pieced quilt pattern by Pen + Paper + Patterns 2021
I fell in love with this pattern and wanted to make it for some friends who love birding. The first time I used the pattern, I was scared to stray from the color choices that came with the pattern. I matched the colors with AFG solids from our wonderful local quilt shop By & By. That quilt has a dark blue background and it was quilted by my sister in law, Frannie Marr on her new long arm using a lovely hummingbird pattern with yellow thread. The second time I made it in lighter colors using my stash, Sparrow 2. I wanted to learn how to put colors together. I also arranged the birds differently and added some appliqué feathers. I quilted that one myself on a wonderful Janome Memory Craft that I bought from another local quilter. I am loving my new Janome and had so much fun quilting this.
