{ in the leafy treetops quilt }

I love the the robin IN the bird bath and the look on the other robin's face.

As a child, I loved the song

"In the Leafy Treetops" (the birds sing "good morning").

I still love birds singing in the tree tops.

After reintroducing quack grass to our yard,

Mr. W. and I made a compromise that I would

only use black sunflower seeds in my bird feeders.

This spring my bird bath has been a beehive of activity.

I have been delighted to see multiple birds

drinking and bathing and vying for a spot.

I saw this pattern and loved the two colored twist.

Using this as my inspiration, I set out to create my own.

(I would have been ahead time wise to have

bought the pattern but this is what I came up with.)

 In the Leafy Treetops Quilt

The solid colors are Kona cottons.

The leafy treetop fabric is a Cloud 9 fabric from JoAnn's.

The back is a Peter Pan fabric I purchased in the 90's.

(I'm trying to 'shop' at home more . . . )

The quilt design is a beautiful bird and flower from

Quilts Complete.
