Antique Bird Love for Bloggers Quilt Fest

So happy to share my antique reproduction quilt with my friends and Amy's crew at Bloggers Quilt Festival.  This quilt was created for the American Quilt Study Group's Civil War Quilt Study (a scholarly quilt challenge).  Voting for the Bloggers Quilt Festival starts Nov. 1 to Nov. 7th.  I'm in the applique category.

It was truly a challenge but also a joy.  Here's the full quilt
