Little Birdie Woodland Bird Baby Quilt Panel – No-Piecing 36 x 42 Cheater Quilt Top

Make a calm, gender-neutral nursery quilt with the Little Birdie woodland bird baby quilt panel — watercolor birds perched among oak leaves and acorns, framed by linen-texture blocks, egg-print borders and a herringbone outer border.

This listing is the printed panel only: one yard of fabric. Batting, backing and binding are not included. Matching fabrics for backing and binding are sold separately in the Little Birdie Story & Stash; batting is available at any quilt or craft store.

It’s a pre-printed, no-piecing quilt top — also called a cheater quilt or wholecloth quilt — printed on one continuous yard. Layer it with batting and backing, quilt and bind, and you have a finished crib quilt.
