Oh, don't worry. I'm still counting down to the big 1600 post.
I'm referring to my changing the eagle for the second Veterans quilt.
But when I auditioned it at the top of the quilt, I didn't like the proportions one bit. So back to the drawing board.
Much better, don't you think?
I needed wording and Mr. Cowboy came up with "Freedom Isn't Free"
I like the way that sounds.

I finished highlighting the eagle, changed his brow & stood back for a look-see.
The quilt needs a narrower eagle.
I came up with one in flight. Now on to my stash of fabric to pick just the right colors.

I've auditioned it above the scrappy quilt & it looks good. Now to figure out how I want to attach it. Maybe a strip between the quilt and eagle.
Not a very good photo but another quilt top finished!! I might try to take a better pic this weekend.
Now, for the first winner of the FQ.
The Left-Handed Quilter/favorite color at the moment RED!!
BTW, if you don't here from me after you leave your comments, please know that sometimes I just can't get to everyone. But I do read all comments and am so appreciative of everyone's time.
Alrighty, leave a comment, mention your favorite color to win a fat quarter.
I know you are going to use that first eagle for another project. He is so perfect. The Eagle in flight is a better choice for this one.
ReplyDeleteFavorite color?? so much easier to say what color I DON'T like. Today my favorite color is Sea Green.

now you can use the first eagle as a starting point for another quilt. Ha ha. Today, I will say Caribbean Blue.
ReplyDeleteOh, I WON!! THANK YOU!! - ;))
ReplyDeleteI like your new eagle - and agree that the proportion is much better. Mr. Cowboy's wording is perfect!
Today my favorite color is Orange - ;))
I like the new eagle better on this project, but I do love the first eagle. I can't wait to see where you use it.
ReplyDeleteStill yellow.
I loved the original eagle, but you are right - it didn't quite work with the quilt....this one is much better. For some reason the eagle face tells me that he would like to be surrounded by feathers...not that I have ANY clue of what would be best!!
ReplyDeleteStill like blue and purple!
I really admire how you can come up with all these wonderful designs. I like the eagle and Mr. Cowboys' wording is perfect. It is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have been away for a while because of Hurricane Irma. She came in on Monday and took everything out--Electricity,phone,internet,and water. We just got it back this afternoon. She did so much damage and we only got part of her. I am so glad we didn't get the full force of her.
My favorite color is green--any color.
I like both of your eagles but the second one is really realistic. Orange is still the favorite.
ReplyDeleteI just love what you are doing...both eagles are great!
ReplyDeletei love the primary colors, specially blue and red. Love what you are doing with your quilts.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the second eagle a lot. The other one will work on something else.
