"Love the Dove"
 
1 Attachment(s)
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.

Faintly Artistic 08-16-2017 12:19 PM

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 :-)

lynnie 08-16-2017 01:32 PM

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

Jane Quilter 08-16-2017 01:59 PM

wow....that is a beauty. and I love the boarder....how clever.

GingerK 08-16-2017 02:12 PM

What a beautiful piece! I love your colour choices and how they pop against the black background. And I especially love the sentiment (peace) considering what seems to be so prevalent in our daily news. A job well done in my opinion.

That is simply beautiful!!! At age 75, my dh is building a 14' fiberglass steeple for our church. It will have 2 stained glass pieces in it that measures 18" x 24". The interior of the steeple will be lighted. The reason I am telling you this is after seeing your Dove, I am inspired to try to do a quilt piece using the Dove my dh did in stained glass as my pattern. Do you think this is doable?

You should be able to make it the same way as the pattern on Nancy Zieman's site. That pattern makes the dove in four sections (body, two wings, and tail). I think it would look smashing if you did the outlines of the applique and background with couching or bobbin quilting using Razzle Dazzle.

I like the scrappy look too, as well your beautiful quilting, which complements it nicely & looks great on the dark middle.
