I thought twice before posting these photos, but you all have made me feel good! Thank you all. Now I'm trying to decide how to come up with an applique or something even more creative....maybe a crazy quilt?

Your photos are wonderful. Photo number one would make a wonderful center for a quilt - appliqued and pieced. I would have it blown up and then trace the birds and make your pattern. Also photo transfer for a middle panel would be nice as well. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos.

Super gma, your granddaughter did a great job! Everyone, thanks. I'm going to print up the suggestions and then get to work on some programs to simplify the photos. I see why Audubon was so fascinated with birds. I wish I could paint! I have one flamingo quilt I designed (at least I did the center, but it was for a round robin.) It is sort of a simple folky-almost design, but I do love it and the other folks in the round robin did a great job. mary
