This quilt is a tribute to the tūī, a native New Zealand bird known for its distinctive white throat tuft. From a distance, the tūī's plumage appears black, but up close it reveals a dazzling blend of blues, teals, and aquas. Tui Feathers captures that hidden beauty through repeating geometric blocks that create the impression of overlapping feathers and shifting color.

Designed for confident beginners, the pattern uses half-square and quarter-square triangles to build four simple blocks that combine into a striking secondary design. Careful fabric placement allows the individual blocks to blend together, recreating the subtle color shifts found in the tūī's plumage. Instructions are included for five quilt sizes, with full-color diagrams and pressing guidance to support seam nesting.
