The bird seemed a little flat to me, so I fused a strip of red to the bottom edge of the wing before applying. I also gave this bird a golden eye - for no good reason!

An original quilt made for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.
I used a torn edge binding, because I don't think a little quilt like this really needs much of a binding. It is a single layer with the torn edge on the top and the back edge folded under to be caught in the stitching, which is done from the top.
On the back I used the Fast Triangles so the owner can insert a flat stick in the top two and hang it on the wall. I usually use four triangles because I like it to be symmetrical. The buyer also has some options if the quilt can be hung with any side up.

I liked seeing the close-up of your little bird. Great, perky quilt. It will cheer everybody up.
