The Harvest Quilt with crows and scarecrows is actually a compilation type quilt.I did lots of fussy cutting and then made my own patterns I could not find on a preprinted panel, mixed them all in and arranged what I wanted to fill an 8 ft long wall space. I collected the different panels over a 2 or 3 year period nd then went thru my stash for pcs to duplicate what I wanted to add. I machine appliqued all the pcs and machine quilted it. I took the "pants" from one scarecrow and split them , saved some of the original background fabric from the panels and painted it to add fullness for the skirt. I named the scarecrows Mr A W Shucks and the girl is Miss Corney Jokes.I made up the crows because I saw lots of Heckyl and Jeckyl when I was a kid. It was lots of fun to make.
