In early June I shared a photo of the newest Tilda range, Harvest, which I was kindly sent by 2 Green Zebras....
If you've known me for long enough it's no surprise the little bird prints stole my heart.
And there in lies the inspiration for my Tilda Blog Hop design.
It's not often I create a project without a signature Elefantz stitchery but this time I wanted the fabric to shine, so here's my "Harvest Flight" mini quilt, complete with borders of small flying geese blocks...
I tried to capture as many little birds in each section as I could from the fat quarters I'd be given, carefully saving four different birds to feature on a hexie in each corner.
The finished mini quilt was even prettier than I'd hoped.
Hand quilting small projects is such a restful pastime that I spent a weekend doing just that before finishing the quilt with binding.
Something else made using this fat quarter bundle is the cushion I showed you the other day...
Would you like to see more projects made with Harvest by Australian designers?

Over the weekend I'll be working on completing this new design as a sweet project...
...with a plan to border it inside a large hexie shape.
"Nesting on a Heart" is one of my patterns for the August issue of The Stitchery Club.
I hope you'll be creating pretty things over the weekend break, too?
May your days be blessed with goodness, grace and peace,
hugs
