Wanna Play? Owl Quilt

It’s been over two years since I received these cute bunch of owls. They were part of a exchange, Mary Lou Weidman invited me to be a part of, after taking a class from her. I was thrilled.

 

Growing up my dad used to read me PD Eastman’s Sam and the Firefly. As I got older I read it to him. Then when I became a mother I read it to my kids until they could read it to me. Memories of this book fit perfectly with my flamboyant flock. So I started making words.

 

Finally I filled in all the blank space with my background fabric. I was a little worried I would run out. But miraculously I had enough. Though I’ll be looking for a close match for the binding.

I’m leaving for Panguitch Quilt Walk today. If memory serves me there will be a vendor there that has lots of batiks and will most likely have a good match. Crossing my fingers and toes I’m right. ‘Cause I’m pretty stoked to finish this cute baby quilt.
