We have a bird bed. A pocked pewter iron bed with bird finials up the wazoo. I love my bed. I bought it ages ago. It has bird bedding too. It's very birdy. The funny thing is I'm not a fan of live birds. I like a tasty roast chicken, but those feathery things flying up in the air? Not so much. I live in NYC and we've got all kinds of pigeons. Don't like the pigeons. Yes, they are actually quite beautiful (in a rat that flies kind of way) but they are just filthy and they poop on you every opportunity they get. Yuck to pigeons.
Sooooo, I'm making a bird quilt for the bird bed. I started it in a quilt as you go class last summer. With much time off, it is almost done! I'm just sashing and sewing it all together. Another couple of weeks and it will be added to the bird collection...
This is a quilt I feel is a little muddy... Too many types of fabrics, not much cohesion. It's not modern or traditional... A little of both but not enough of either. But it is what it is. And we're gonna use it.
