Birds have been on quilts about as long as there have been quilts — Morris's Strawberry Thief alone has been charming makers since the 1880s. Here the flock is gathered in one place: art nouveau birds-of-paradise, golden-hour cranes, pink flamingos, and peacock solids to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Strawberry Thief?
Strawberry Thief is William Morris's famous 1883 design of thrushes stealing strawberries, and it's never really gone out of style. On quilting cotton it brings a rich arts-and-crafts feel to borders and large patches.
How do I quilt with large-scale bird prints?
Cut them big — generous squares, wide borders, or whole-cloth backs let the birds stay recognizable. Fussy cutting individual birds for block centers is lovely too; just buy extra yardage to allow for it.
What colors suit a bird-themed quilt?
Follow the plumage — teals and peacock blues with gold read rich and Morris-like, while soft grays and creams give watercolor birds an airy, naturalist feel. Pull your coordinates from the print itself.
Used one of these in a quilt?
Add it to your stash or tag it in a project so other quilters can see it in action.
