Fabulous peacock! I used to have a peacock and several pea hens here many years ago. We live way out in the country on the end of a dirt road - the perfect place for peafowl. HE wound up being very mean - very inbred I think.

Anyway, no experience here with crazy quilts - but I would want the peacock to be more showcased - if that is possible.

Ok, I think I will put the circle in, then quilt it, then do the stitching and I will enjoy that and some beading and who knows what else.

I vote for crazy circles and decorative stitching and lot's of beads!! I would not cut into this work of art - the 12" framed pieces are nice on thier own but as a whole I think this will be spectacular!!

I love the cut up into blocks, but not gray for a border. Black maybe, but not gray.

Thank you ladies, I love all this input. It stays in one piece with lots of decorative stitching and beading. Winter is coming and it will be a nice sit down and watch movies thing to do.
