I am thrilled that you want to feature my project (I love being able to share with other quilters, I only have males at my house and they make the right noises but I know they aren't as appreciative as fellow-quilters are!) and it is cool to think it will be seen all around the world! As for which pattern I choose, I love your Diamond Jubilee layer Cake quilt pattern, thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing at my linky party, Keep It Simple & Make It Fun. I would like to feature your project next week and as such, you get a free PDF of one of my quilt patterns from me. Simply reply to this with your email & favorite pattern (which can be viewed on my Craftsy/Etsy store links on the blog) and it will come to your inbox.

I didn't aim to be too precise on the edges of the birds as I wanted it to look 'loose/sketched'.
