            Good morning,

            I was wondering if there was a way I can do the birdhouse quilt a bit smaller? I wanted to hang it in my sewing studio/room, wall space is limited. So I was thinking if I make it unfinished at 28 1/2” x 36 1/2” which is 4” both ways and make 1 less pinwheel for each side that should work? I may have to fudge the seams on the pinwheels a bit and just shrink the flowers and birdhouses a bit so it all plays together nicely it should work? Any opinions or suggestions will help.

            Thank you
            Barbara

              Barbara, You did the important figuring first. Keeping the inside a size that works with the 4 inch pinwheels should make it a easy modification. What a cute idea to put it in your sewing room. I alrady
              Have 2 bird hangings in my sewing room. One is an eagle in a tree with a blue pieced sky background
              And the other is a birdhouse with a couple little birds . I am going to try to fit this in with all the other projects since is it is so cheerful and looking forward to spring coming. HelenW

                  DanielInSeattle, I took a screen shot and underlined in red the amounts in the sold out bundles. Hope this helps. HelenW

                    We are still in lockdown here in Ontario, so I had to work with what I had on hand. I like the look of all the greens. Ready for the appliqués. Undecided if I’ll go raw edge or use Appliquick.

                        Finished my background. Decided to do something a little different. Had seen this triangle background on other applique projects and always wanted to try it.
