With a little imagination, a piece of floral fabric you're never likely to use...
can become...
a pair of bluebirds!
These two represent North American birds known as Eastern Bluebirds, which are local to my customer who requested them in her tree quilt. They have a gorgeous russet breast and cream underside, so the red here uses a little artistic licence. I'll need to use both blue and red threads to applique them, and am considering whether a using little cream under the belly as well will add to or detract from them.

Using a peach colored thread on the breast would make them perfect Eastern Bluebirds. We are lucky to see them every day here! Your fabric was just perfect for them!
Oh that is great
Genius! I would probably have never thought to do that. You're technically, AND creatively gifted.
