Take a look at the progress:
Sewed on the letters and bird. Don't worry, I will give the little bird feet later.
I added the first rows of colored fabric to the white fabric.
I finished the other two sides.
Then I added the batting and stitched a zigzag stitch around the border.
At this point I cut out and sewed all the pieces for the entire back piece but for some reason didn't take a picture.
Then I put the front and back panel together and adding the binding.
Front:
Back:
Close up of binding. Right now it looks finished but really it is all pinned waiting for me hand stitch the rest. Yikes!
I really like it. And like the other things I do, it is far from perfect but I don't care.

i really like it, too! good luck with the hand-stitching!
I actually finished the hand-stitching today! AND it has been washed and dried and nothing came undone! I am very happy.
I love it! So have you taken quilting classes or is this pretty much self-taught?
No classes. I just break it down in my head of how to do it. AND, I am not the best. You know how there is rustic cooking? Well, I am a rustic sewer! :)
My grandma sewed and my mom does too so I guess I just kind of picked it up along the way somehow. But, no one really taught me.
You are so crafty...My grandma always said "measure twice, cut once"--I think that is what you are doing with the breaking it down and thinking it through before you make your project. Keep up the good work. I love seeing your pics!
