The background fabric is a soft grey linen fabric with five sea gull appliques are also made from a white linen. Between the two background layers of linen is organic cotton batting. The appliques are hand cut and hand stitched to the background, with echo quilting around the birds, blending together to cover the quilt.

I love using linen because it is a thermo-regulating fabric. “Thermoregulation refers to the ability of materials, such as linen, to control body temperature by regulating heat exchange. Linen is considered one of the most thermoregulatory fabrics, as it is highly breathable and can absorb and release moisture effectively, keeping you cool in warm weather and warm in cold conditions23. This property makes linen an excellent choice for clothing and bedding, ensuring comfort throughout various temperatures”.(the definition from a Bing search)

The quilt is 46” wide and 61” wide.
