A beautiful pair of cardinals is always a welcoming sight! This lovely 14x14"

handcrafted wall quilt by Linda E. Wells (October 2025) is the perfect way to add a pop of color to any room. Using a delightful Applique Birds design by Pamela Humphries, the quilt captures both a male and female cardinal resting on branches surrounded by blossoms. The appliques of the center motif are blanket-stitched onto a 12x12-inch cross-hatch quilted off-white background, then the motif section is blanket-stitched onto a cream 14x14-inch decorative stitched quilted background and the wall quilt is finished with an artistic, asymmetric framing effect, a 1.5" dark purple border was added specifically along the bottom and left sides. Tied together with a tone-on-tone purple binding and a gorgeous variegated purple backing, this high-quality piece comes ready to hang and enjoy. At Quilts and More for Home Decor, I take pride in offering unique, handcrafted pieces to enhance your living spaces with warmth and personality.
