"No Name" is finished........

I looked in Kaffe's book to see what he called this quilt.  He had "Earthy Frames" and "Sunny Frames" for the 2 colorways so I guess this one would be "Cool Frames" as opposed to "Warm Frames" that I made a few years ago.  It is about 50" x 61".
I chose the last four pairs for the Fractured quilt.  I'll make the blocks later this week.








We had a nice gentle rain for a few hours yesterday.  There were lots of sparrows darting between the feeders and the bush and then they started landing on my windowsill.  I have a stone house with extended cement windowsills.  There are 2 birds here although window distortion almost hides one of them.
Most of the birds flew away when I got close enough to the window to take a photo but a couple didn't seem to care if I was there.

Cool Frames looks great, Wanda.
I have lots of birds after the grass is cut. In fact I usually see a few bluebirds about at that time. however, I can never get close enough to take pictures of the bluebirds. They are very skittish.

Welcome rain for all of us in the Midwest. Your quilt looks fantastic. Your birds wanted a trunk show by sitting on your windowsill. Chris

Your quilt is lovely - and the name is very fitting. We had a little bit of rain, too, but could definitely use more.

the birds appear to be interested in the plants inside!!! Looking for lunch?

I really like the quilt... good balance between color and shape sizes.

Really pretty quilt. And the birds are a never ending source of enjoyment to me, too. I'm watching a big blue jay outside the window right now.

I like your Cool Frames--they remind me of a rainy day in the garden. Such nice colors.

"Cool Frames" is really pretty. I see a lovely gentle feeling with this one. Funny how it strikes each one of differently.

Love your inquisitive sparrows... I love all my birds and we sure have a lot. I feed everything from our California quail, song birds, and wild turkey. Don't care for the turkeys they take over my seed for the quail.
