    I am impressed that your quilt is hand pieced and quilted. My first quilt class was in hand piecing & I've recently considered going back to it.

    WOW. Great quilt and you do have a LOT of patience to do all that hand work.

    Matisse practiced doves a lot. When finished with one, he'd say, "There's another dove for peace." Very nice quilt!

    You have done a great job on this one; as everyone says, the movement on the quilt is great.

    Welcome from an ex Canuck.I love the birds they remind me of the sea gulls when you feed them whirling around.
