it's not warm but it looks pretty

I've been really into creating little mini quilts lately.  I have all these ideas for future quilts floating around in my mind.  There is so much inspiration out there for these.  I like that they are small (much more manageable that a bed quilt), I love how they look up on the wall, and I like how detailed you can get with them.  I've only made a couple but I see many more in my future.

This is the little quilt I made this week and it's actually for us.  I didn't think much about it in advance - it just came together.  I did actually have an image of it in my mind before I started but it's completely different...the one I was envisioning didn't even have a bird on it!  One of my favorite parts about making art quilts is knowing that when I get interrupted while creating one, it changes the final product.  Here are some close ups:
