Migration

The second round of the MQP Swap has just finished...all the voting complete and partners exchanged.  While I can't reveal any of the big details yet....
I can show my entry for the swap.
 
 
 
I call this pillow Migration...
flying geese...paper foundation pieced.
Hand quilted with black perle cotton.
 
And keeping with the aviary theme I have going on here...
the Feather Quilt...is being quilted...
 
 
happy tuesday!
