My favorite finish in April is a quilted Fairy Wren, pattern by The Tartankiwi. I downloaded this paper-pieced pattern several years ago, and decided to make one for my friend, Kelly, who lives in Kentucky, and one to keep. Below is the Fairy Wren that I kept for myself. The blocks were 6.5″ unfinished. After matchstick quilting, I cut them down to 5.75″ square. I wanted mitered corners, so I attached a one-inch binding strip referring to Twiggy and Opal’s mini mini binding tutorial, but rather binding the mini, I taped the binding strip to the back of a 6.25″ square of acid-free card stock using acid free masking tape. Then I inserted it into a trivet frame I had on hand when I used to make mosaics.
I will be writing a post soon about my other April projects including my visit to Paducah, KY.

This is exquisite Mary – I love that pop of blue! Was the one for your friend similar in colors? Framing it was genius. Hope you are having a great week and looking forward to a fun weekend!
