Every year, my mom and I attend the Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, always aiming to learn a new technique. Before my kids were born, we often took classes together, but once I had little ones, we started picking a quilting book or block style to focus on each year.
My grandma loved birds, so the year before her 85th birthday I told my mom I wanted to learn paper-piecing to make a bird quilt for Grandma. I found a book with paper-pieced bird patterns, and my mom and I each made one bird block a month. I used my twelve blocks to create this special quilt for my Grandma.
