Hummingbird Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Hummingbird alternates pieced star blocks with appliqued arrangements of birds, flowers, leaves and vine rings. Wendy Sheppard’s design features the Romance collection and finishes at 94 inches square. Each pieced block combines five small stars with four plain squares, while the applique blocks use the included shapes and a circular placement guide. Five rows form the center, followed by two narrow borders and a wider printed border that frames the quilt.
