Project Quilting Challenge 15.1 Bird House A sweet quilted mug rug with a little foundation paper-pieced birdhouse.  The bird house door is appliqued with a bird print fabric, so we see that someone is home!  

This little quilt was inspired by  the Tangle a Postcard project by Jill Buckley in   Zentangle Fabric Arts Quilting and Embroider y by Suzanne NcNeill.  These flowers are drawn on white cotton and filled with tangles using black Sakura micron pens and Pentel gel rollers for fabric.  Then I painted the flowers with Setacolor transparent fabric paints.  I pieced the checkerboard and braided border in scrap fabrics to match the paint colors.  I finished this little quilt with Zentangle-inspired quilting patterns: Mooka for the white background (a perfect continuous line background filler I've used several times before), and two other continuous line patterns: Echoism in the checkerboards and Evoke in the braids.  Reminds me of a Fiesta.
