everyone has been asking about the pattern for my sandhill crane. i drew it on freezer paper with a sharpie, and started at the bottom (the feet) and just worked my way up to create my crane on the quilt...here is what i started with, from here i layed light colored fabric (background) over it, traced it lightly with a pencil and then did raw-edge fused applique
sorry he's sideways...
