Jacob's Birds

I recently had the pleasure of doing some custom quilting for Marion on this fabulous applique quilt.  The pattern is from Manitoba designer Katie Friesen at House of Creations and is called Jacob's Birds.

Marion chose a selection of Tula Pink fabrics for her turned edge machine applique.

Marion and I discussed some different ideas for the quilting.  I stitched around all the applique and added a branching curl fill behind the birds.  I used a geometric quilting motif in the sashing blocks that created a nice pattern on the back. 

I do love helping other quilters get their quilts to the finish line.  Thanks for trusting me with your treasure Marion.
