            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

                    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.
