Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year!

To honor the new year, I wanted to share the completion of all 12 “bird – moon” quilt squares from 2021. 

In upcoming weeks, I will assemble them together, and then what? 

I’m thinking about a few options:

 raffling off the finished quilt for charity 

or making the quilt a cozy addition to the cottage 

OR keep sewing new  squares to add to this chunk. 

I even  had the idea of making a monthly, story quilt square that illustrates something from that month – not moon or bird related – as a way to keep a history of our lives – a fabric archive.

I think I’m perpetually obsessed with marking time in all sorts of ways. Perhaps it would be a sort of quilt calendar?

What do you think I should do with this bird/moon quilt?

And again, Happy Lunar New Year!
