| Embroidering this eagle 'upside down' to keep the bulk of the quilt to the outside of the embroidery field |
Typically, we embroider the quilt blocks 'prior to' assembly into a quilt however, in a few situations it becomes apparent that 'something' needs to be done with basic quilt blocks:
 |
| All finished w/assembly - just needs 'something' in those cream blocks... |
Because this quilt was designed and created over the weekend 'on the fly', it wasn't determined until after completion - by the choice of the 'cream' filler fabric blocks, that something was missing...embroidery might work!

| Eagle Quilt Of Honor w/Wings |
Time for quilting! Will be using a quilt design with LOTS of movement to emulate the flight of an eagle w/gold quilting thread to compliment the gold that was used in the embroidery.
Once quilted/bound/labeled, this
Quilt Of Honor will be Awarded to one of our
Illiana area Purple Heart Veteran Pilots.
Later,
