From my own photographs of birds living in my neighbourhood in Helsinki, Finland I free motion embroidered blocks on white cotton. Sewed them together and free motion quilted heavily around. Since there is no quilting on the birds they rise up brom the background. Cotton batting and backing. For this quilt I used nine of my embroidered bird.
