Scrappy Eagles, 2001, 77"x76"

Pattern adapted from one in ROOTS, FEATHERS AND BLOOMS, by Linda Carlson, AQS, 1994.
First major quilt I did after retirement in October 2000. Hand appliqued and quilted. It pretty well cured me of those forms of expression. Took forever to find fabrics, and decide on them. I've gotten over that too.
The Eagles are holding batons, but sad to say they look like cigars.

  1. How big is this quilt? It is beautiful! I love the Cheddar background.
    I know what you mean about finding fabrics! I am glad I don't do that any more either!
    So much fun to have accidental surprises happen from the pile on the floor!

  2. All by hand! No wonder you're cured of that. Amazing work and great choice of fabrics!
