2008 BOM, Sunshine and Shadows with Birds of Wisconsin
January Block, Cardinal
home
By popular choice my BOM quilt for 2008 is birds of Wisconsin. I
love to feed the birds, and spend hours watching them out the back
window of my house. I saw an 1800's log-cabin style quilt at a
show called "Sunshine & Shadows". I fell in love with it and
wanted to make a variation of it. I hope you enjoy making this
quilt. Finished quilt size without a border is 54 by 72 inches.
After you add a log-cabin border, it's 72 by 90 inches.
The cardinal is a seed eating bird with a thick strong beak. It
is named after the bright red vestments that a Catholic Cardinal
wears. They also eat berries.
