Parrots are done...
I purchased this panel on e-bay over a year ago & finally got to work on it. I used one layer of poly batting & one layer of W&N batting between the layers. When I detailed it, it made everything really pop! Two funny things have happened regarding this panel. My daughter called the day I sandwiched this to start quilting & told me she bought this fantastic panel at JoAnn's while buying more fabric for our granddaughter. Her DH put a picture up so I could see what it looked like. Now this young lady has never touched a sewing machine & she's telling me she wants to make a wall-hanging that she can take off the wall & use as a quilt! It was this same panel! LOL! Then yesterday, I remembered years ago buying a bird panel at WalMart in another county & got the bag out to see what it looked like. Now I have 5 more chances to get that waterfall right!! LOL! Plus I have coordinating backing & two pillows that match as well! I knew I liked this panel; just didn't realize how much!! :-)

Love your story! I'm trying to organize my fabric and as I pulled out unopened bags from my sewing room, I found 3 one yard cuts of the same fabric. A) I really like that fabric and B) I really need to stop buying fabric!
THe panel is really nice! Can you use a metallic on the waterfall to make it sparkle like sunlight on water?
