The story:
This is a breakthrough quilt for me with my quilting. I loved all the open space that I could fill and tried to pull all the individual quilting elements together in the border. The variation in the outer quilting tells the story of the flight of the hummingbird and how the calm sky was disturbed by its flight.

Description:
This quilt features needle-turn hand applique and beautiful machine quilting. The center poppies were curved pieced before being appliqued to the quilt. All design elements are original to this quilt. The hummingbird in the border brings movement to the quilt. The penny sized circles in the border are all hand appliqued. The fabrics in this quilt are from 3 generations. The backing is a green swirl - the same as the hand finished binding.Detail images:
