The triangles at the bottom look perfect now and I am digging the blue and gray strip at the right side not yet sewn on. I can see your dilemma about how to add more birds. Right now the quilt seems so balance with the three sections of birds. I don't know how big the piece is right now or how big you plan on making this, but if you go bigger then there may be a place to add more birds.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-13252820149773976442021-01-21T00:27:39.077+00:002021-01-21T00:27:39.077+00:00Adding that black/blue dot strip on the right was ...Adding that black/blue dot strip on the right was a good call.
