I really love your quilts! Are the flowers appliqued? Haven't seen that pattern before. I went to a school that had Eagles as the mascot, so there were Eagles on lots of bags, jackets, quilts, etc. Haven't seen one as pretty as yours! Seems like it is a Jacob's Ladder variation? You should be proud of these!

The first quilt is machine appliqued, my DD started it and Mum finished it for her. The original pattern was call Midnight in the Tropics and was designed by a local lady. We changed the colours a lot and called in Afternoon in the Tropics.
The second quilt I made for my DH, he hasn't seen it yet, I just finished the binding last night. There are 15 machine embroidered eagles 61/2 inches.
I quilted both quilts, they each took me about 6 days and the eagle used 19 bobbins on my domestic sewing machine so there is a lot of quilting.
Hope you like them
