There are 44 pieces in the eagle's head and 19 in the background, making a total of 63 appliquéd pieces. I used YLI 100% silk pale silver thread to machine-appliqué the clouds, and YLI dark invisible thread for the mountains. The pillow top now measures 16" x 16". Tomorrow I will quilt it. Where in the world did I put that thick cord for the piping??
I like the biplane in the clouds!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! That was serendipity -- I had a little piece of that fabric left (used it for backing on the Americana Eagle Quilt)... and realized that if I positioned that cloud just right, the plane would be in the right place, too! 😉
DeleteIt's beautiful Sarah Lynn. It will coordinate so well with Larry's quilt. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna! 😊
