A Murder of Crows on a Very Hot Day
After spending several hours at Mary Jo's, a humongous fabric store in Gastonia, NC, I was tossing around the idea of of how hard it would be to change my name! The 'M' had a lot of possibilities, but finding an 'F' that looked half-way presentable with each 'M' was driving me up the wall. I ended up buying a lot of combinations for this quilt 'cause I just couldn't make up my mind. Nothing looked good together! You all know I'm a neutral kinda' gal. This year's challenges are really making me stretch out of my comfort zone! It wasn't until I got back to the cabin and dumped all the fabrics out on the floor that I settled on Magenta and Fern Green ... they happened to fall out of the bag on top of each other.
21 x 21 - The background and leaves are hand-quilted, the crows are machine embroidered.
