Blue birds in my quilt forest

I have added blue birds, twigs and berries to my forest.

They are really cute!

Now for the part I'm not going to enjoy...stitching around all of those leaves and berries!

This is my first big quilt with applique and that is a lot of turning in my machine.

I am waiting to trim up the quilt until I'm done with the applique.  Hopefully the edges won't be so frayed.

I love Edyta Sitar patterns, they are always so adorable.  I'm planning on doing a couple more at least.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.
