Featured Quilt - First Prize Group Quilts at 2022 Birmingham Festival of Quilts

Lullaby of Birdland by The Round Robins won First Prize - Group Quilts at the 2022 Birmingham Festival of Quilts. Christine Thomas, one of the members of The Round Robins, had this to say about making the quilt, "The centre design is from Focus on Appliqué, the two borders I designed. My quilting group, the Round Robins appliquéd some of the vases and flowers, I stitched the centre, some of the flowers in the vases and the final border. Joe Bennison long arm quilted it for me."
