The Objects of Design: Knock Knock Quilt Top

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.

PaulaB quilts said...: 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.; January 31, 2017 at 10:42 AM

Cathy said...: 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.; January 31, 2017 at 11:54 AM

gayle said...: 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!'; January 31, 2017 at 1:14 PM
