Calling all birdwatchers!
The Birdwatchers Project is a BOM collaboration between Julia @juliawachs.designs and Jennifer @manderleymakes. This project is a 14-block foundation paper-piecing pattern, delivered as a block of the month program. A new block pattern will be available on the 2nd Thursday of each month.
Inspired by the board game, Wingspan (created by Stonemaier Games, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, art by Natalia Rojas & Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo), this quilt brings the game's beauty to your sewing room.

Julia is a quilter who loves to design using foundation paper piecing and applique. She started designing her own quilt patterns in earnest during the height of the pandemic as a creative escape, which opened a new world of owning a creative business alongside working full time at an aerospace company. She now is a full time quilter.
Jennifer is a Louisville-based modern quilter. She's been quilting for nearly 15 years and started designing her own patterns in 2020 to share with the quilty world via Manderley Makes. She enjoys designing more intricate patterns using both standard piecing and foundation paper piecing techniques.
This program is perfect for intermediate quilters or ambitious beginners who've done basic paper-piecing. You should be comfortable with stitching precise seams and reading foundation templates.
