A great quilt update

It's been a while so thought I might show you where I'm at.

Sooooo many tiny stitches .... although probably not tiny by real quilter's standards - more of large and clumsy type of stitching.

The Roald Dahl/Quentin Blake row has a few less pics than originally intended (I bit off more than I could chew so dropped it down a few). You will need to use your imagination but my no. 1 son loves them (phew!).
The decapitated pheasant is politely waiting for it's head. Should arrive sometime soon.

The back is a mish mash of stitches - we like to use the term "abstract art".
And its very wrinkly - lucky we like that look ...um ... that was the effect I was kind of aiming for ....
SO, if I keep trucking along it may even make it to his bed before the end of winter...maybe...
Hope you're all well and happily creating !

  5. That is some quilt you have there (and I LOVE the wrinkly look). Strangely I always imagine pheasants to be demure, polite types, regardless of head.
