Innovative Quilt

Seven of our group members (Rotary Cutters) started an Innovative Quilt as our project for 2013 at home of one of our Guild's teachers, Iessie Steenberg (read her blog here) at the end of January.  Iessie prepared 4 different patterns from which we could choose.  Two florals, one with butterflies and one with owls.



After struggling to decide between the butterflies and owls, I asked my husband to choose and he picked the owls.  The first block look likes this after appliqueing.

Now for the real hard work, adding embroidery, beads, crystals, ribbons etc.
