I continued the branch down and toward the right so I could use white on the three sides of the left half (or third?). It's not perfect but I think it still works. Hope Mom likes it!

Ahh I love it! It looks like he's perching right on the tree. I love it. Now you have the best of both worlds, and I LOVE it as a pillow! I hope your mom likes it too.
That's so sweet. He looks so cute perched on his little branch.
I LOVE IT TOO! I had no worthy opinion on the matter, but I enjoyed reading everyone else's ideas. And, of course, the final product is a perfect solution. :)
How could she *not* love it???
(note to self: must get wood grain fabric)
That is amazing. You are so talented!
Thanks, everyone.
Rebecca, i should have noted earlier...the fabric is by Joel Dewberry called Woodgrain. I'm sure i'll use it again.
So adorable! Love the wood-grain fabric. :)
It's so cute! Me gusta muchísimo.

I LOVE this!!!! I have a pet (not really) cardinal that comes to stay every winter! He and his mate even nested in my Crepe Myrtle this past spring. Fantastic!!!!
I LOVE it!
Beautiful!
Are you kidding? Mom is going to LOVE it! That is just too cute! :o)
That pillow is beautiful. What a brilliant way to use the wood grain print, and the cardinal is wonderful. Great work!!
I just bought that fabric from the Aviary line and now you've opened up my world of possibilities...great work!!
WOW! Love it!
That is just beautiful! My mother was a master quilter who died several years ago and she loved cardinals, especially at Christmas time. I love how you have used the woodgrain fabric, it really adds dimension to the piece. You have inspired me to try a paper pieced cardinal of my own.
As the recipient of this lovely gift...may I say I just LOVE the pillow!!! It will have an honored place in my home for a long time to come. Thank you to my wonderful and creative daughter, and to all her friends who weighed in with their encouragement and suggestions!
May you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
