2008 BOM, Sunshine and Shadows with Birds of Wisconsin
July Block, Black-Capped Chickadee
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.
A banded Black-Capped Chickadee was spotted in central New Jersey with
a completely white tail, normally slate gray. It has rusty brown
flanks and a gray back. It stays in cold climates during the
winter, lowering its body temperature at night dramatically to save
energy.
