Well, I probably could have guessed that she was going to use my book Vintage Quilt Revival to make something - but not follow a pattern in any way. lol She is super creative and improvisational and this quilt she made really shows her style.

Isn't it cool? The fabric is from Carrie Bloomston's Collage fabric line for Windham Fabrics. To create the flowers, she used the paper piecing templates from the block used on the Star Bright quilt, shrinking and enlarging to create different flower sizes.

Then, and this would be hard to spot if you didn't know it, she created a bird nest using some of the paper piecing templates from Katie's Cut Glass baby quilt. She added texture though appliqué, inspired by the fabric designer Carrie Bloomston's The Nest quilt pattern.

The leaves and stems all are appliquéd on. For the border, she used a 15 degree triangle plastic template, drawing around it onto the fabric. She then cut out the pieces and they fit together easily and perfectly.
What do you think? Award for the most creative use of the book so far? Thanks for letting me share it mom!
