    Now that's a unique quilt. I love the idea of the silver thread. Very Chic!

    I really love the name you're planning to use! It is very beautiful! Since I've never entered anything in a fair, I have no idea of what needs to be done. Good luck when you do enter it! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I don't know if this helps you choose a quilting pattern, but the title makes me think of 'Little Red Riding Hood' or 'Hansel and Gretel' --- blackbirds come to mind, also. hhhmmmm ..... maybe quilt small footprints (or animal paw prints or a trail of leaves....) wandering from tree to tree. Maybe these suggestions will help generate other ideas. Good luck!
