This, my second quilt, was a labor of love on two counts. Entirely paper pieced, which I love to do and a surprise birthday gift for my husband!
Over 120 different green fabrics used in the grass blocks and about 60 used in the ducks.
By designer Rebecca Manthey, from the book PP Potpourri Fun-Filled Projects for Every Quilter.

Amazing. Is there a loon pattern in the book? Our lake has loons on it and I would love to make a quilt with them in it.

Beautiful Quilt!

I lived on a lake in Northern Canada for 10 yrs and the loons woke us up very early!
There is a pp loon pattern in A quilters Ark by Margaret Rolfe.
I could send this if you want.

Oh how cute

IrishNY: Sorry there aren't any loons in the book. That's a pattern I'd love to have. We have loons near where we live. If you ever find a pattern keep me in mind!

that is absolutely wonderful! I have had that pattern for years, i planned to make a valance for dh's den window, havne't got it done yet. Yours inspires me to dig the pattern out. Great job

Your piecing looks great! I love how you did different ducks! Congrats!

quiltsRfun 05-20-2010 08:31 AM

This is an amazing quilt. I especially like the blue background. I know a couple of duck hunters who would love to have a quilt like this. Me, I just love ducks - not the hunting.
