I have finished this project, all it needs is a label. 
My choice for binding was to simply repeat the red that borders all the blocks. I did hand sew the binding down.
So here I am trying to show you the quilting, and you can’t see anything.
Better, you can see how I did FMQ in the middle of the blocks and used my walking foot on the background. It was a pain using the walking foot, because as you can see, I had small areas where I had to rotate the quilt. UGH, what a pain. Probably would have been easier just to do those wavy line free hand.
It’s on the back that you can see the quilting designs.
My butterflies all in a row.
The feathers, I outlined them and then did shadow quilting inside.
As you step away, you can’t really see the quilting in detail. Clearly the quilting gives a three dimensional affect which is why I quilt so heavily. 
Each bird got slightly different treatment. I did pay attention to the beaks, I wanted them to stand out.
The details of the feather and the birds.
Done and flapping in the wind.
I pieced the back, I’m frugal that way.With all the white, things got dirty along the way, so as soon as I was done photographing, I threw the quilt in the washing machine. UH-OH! I hadn’t prewashed any of the fabrics, guess what something red did? Yup, it bled. Lucky me, a few of the background fabrics acted like color catcher. 
This is the after the wash photo. The white is bright, the reds are reds, so what am I talking about?
Now can you see the difference? I am so grateful that it didn’t damage the real whites. The quilt is as lovely as ever. I won’t be keeping this for myself. As much as I enjoyed this, I’m not in love. So some very very lucky friend will receive this for Christmas. Which is why the label will wait until I decide who that lucky person is. Also, I will put in instructions that yes, the quilt can be machine washed and dried, but please use a color catcher sheet when doing so. I have no idea which red crocked, but it may not be done doing so.
