Bird Quilt Top Finished

I finally got around to finishing my bird quilt top last night. And I love how it turned out. I found it really fun to make this quilt with a simple neutral color palette, with the pops of color from the bird print. And I can’t even tell you how much I love the newspaper…

I Spy with My Little Eye – Closeups of the Steampunk Crazy Quilt

With everything that’s going on in the Steampunk Crazy Quilt, I’ve had several requests for some closeups. But before I share those closeups, here’s a reminder of what the entire quilt look like.   And from the back, because I love the way a quilt top looks from the back with the sun shining through…
