"Love the Dove"
 

Our President's Challenge this year was to make a quilt with an animal on it. I found the dove applique pattern on Nancy Zieman's blog. It was shared with her by Stephanie Kepecs and Joanne Perlmutter of devoutquilter.com

The scrappy border is made using 2.5" squares from a swap here on Quilting Board. They are 1" x 2" flying geese sewn end to end. I lost count of how many different fabrics that I used. There were alot! I like the scrappyness of it.

Beautiful! Really like everything about this, the scrappiness, the quilting, the FG border (wow 1 x 2 are tiny!) and the design. I also love how you put it on a dark background so all those beautiful colors and fabrics practically glow.

It's gorgeous! I love the theme, the colors on the black, and just everything about it. Nice work!

Very nice!

beautifully done

Beautiful job. The colors just pop with that dark background.

Lovely! Really like your fabric choices for the dove.

Oh, I love everything about that dove. It's also a nice reminder of how colors just love to be surrounded by black.
I just went to the link and in my humble opinion, I prefer yours.

I "love the dove" too! I am in agreement with the others...everything about your quilt is perfection :-)

love it, it reminds me of stained glass, very pretty job.
