Beautiful quilt. I've never seen that pattern. This is one of the reasons I love quilting and this board, there is always something new to ooh and ahh about!

You have an optical illusion going on, great job.

what color

Sorry to be so slow to get back to you...I was searching for a quilt that I thought I remembered and I was shocked to see that my thread had been revived... anyway, those cardinals are concrete or cement...I don't think I know the difference, if there is one...hah. They're pretty handy and since they require no feed they don't poop...lol. I've had them for years...dh has even repainted them...had a dozen but I think some may have had some help relocating over the years...well, they didn't "fly" away, I'm sure. Thanks for the comments!
