I have been hand quilting another miniature quilt. The block is anvil and came about because of a challenge on Small Quilt Talk on Yahoo Groups. These triangles were all from a quilt Jen and I made for my niece when she got married (Hum, 6 or 8 years ago.) They have been aging nicely and when I read this challenge I sorted through the bag/tin/boxes of triangles I have hanging around and found them ready to be sewn together. I had bits and pieces of the fabrics left so combined them. I still have two blocks to quilt and then I'll decide if I want to put something in the sashing or not. I must say they really came out red in this photo. They are more burgundy in person. Squares are 4" -- a very nice size to work with compared to some I refuse to mention!
More color inspiration. Here's another cool pheasant. He was harder to take a picture of as he kept strutting back and forth on
his bar. None the less, he had a magnificent tail feather also. When I read about a hat with feathers in novels I will now think of these pheasant's tails.
Time to get up to the studio to play with fabrics!
Happy quilting all! Bonnie
Nice job, Bonnie. I like your fabric choices.
