Along the Shores Blue Heron quilt pattern features a lovely detailed bird standing on a beach among tall grasses.
This wall hanging can be made individually or combined with the other two Along the Shores series of patterns to create a larger 37" x 28" combined wall hanging. The last photo shows the combined wall hanging using all three patterns.
Wildfire Designs Alaska patterns are designed for fusible applique, so I recommend that you use an Applique Pressing Sheet. The pattern contains a layout guide, full size applique pattern pieces that are already reversed, and instructions. Although the instructions do not say this, I recommend that all the applique pieces should be sewn down to the quilt top after fusing using the stitch of your choice (straight stitch, zig-zag, buttonhole or satin stitch). All the original fabrics shown on the pattern cover are Hoffman Fabrics batiks.
