Hybirds
I recently made a small quilt to donate to an auction for an international Art quilt group called SAQA - Studio Art Quilt Associates. I had just come from a retreat, where people had shared some of their fabrics. I challenged myself to use these fabrics for my 12" square auction quilt. It was a very mixed bag of prints, including a navy with white scissors, and a navy with white bicycles. And some beautiful feather print with gold details. I decided on birds, and was able to make it all work together, I think. Here is the finished, hand quilted piece:
I thought later, that I should have made a more beautiful, subtle, generic quilt that would appeal to more people, but maybe some quirky person will enjoy it. I hope so.

ReplyDeleteWhy would you try to do a generic quilt? I love the quirky scissors in the bird, and the bold colors. Very good, I hope it does well in the auction.
