Knock Knock Quilt Top

The owl quilt top is completed. I was originally planning on adding floating branches above and below the owls, but the owls convinced me that having unattached suspended branches over their heads was bad feng shui. They also thought it would be extremely dangerous during an earthquake. So instead, I surrounded them with as much background fabric as I had remaining so they wouldn't feel claustrophobic.

Love it! I have a niece that loves owls. Did you use a pattern?

Good thing you listened to those wise owls. They don't look caged in at all. Maybe that was their "cagey" way of conning you into leaving them free to fly away. Good luck with the finish.

Congrats! on your newly completed RSC quilt top. The owls look very pleased with their perches!

Fantastic finish, love the array of coloured owls.

Well, I commented through Bloglovin (that POS app...), but it never showed up. So, at the risk of repeating myself, I wanted to drop by once again and say what a great finish the owl quilt is. And I`m glad you listened to the wise owls about the feng shui business.

These owls look half crazed, which is exactly what I expect from this blog. Well done.

But where are the cat pictures?

Everything I try to think of to say is coming out with 'hooters' involved, so I give up. I'm gonna stick with 'love the owls!'

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Owl
Owl who?
Owl be darned if that isn't another cute quilt (to be) of critters!

And...
I also like the owls with Kaffe Fasset eyes. Haven't seen them in awhile.
