Either way it will be alot of work...but worth it in the end. I'm open to suggestions ladies...
the eagles have a wing span of 34 inches so the landscape scene will be rather large to keep everything in scale. which book goes with this pattern - i wasn't aware that caryl bryer fallert made a book for this design. |
Not sure if you have also checked out her gallery of quilts. But for me, the fantastic part is the dyed fabrics behind the birds. I don't think a detailed landscape would be worth the trouble when it's the eagles that you're wanting to stand out. JMHO

Hi Klue:
The book isn't specific for the eagles, but, it is the Creative String Piecing, to get the idea of how to piece it. Still thinking about next course of action. |
Good point...still thinking about it. I like the dyed fabric version myself. A landscape may actually lose the eagles.
|
Finally, I am under way...The first eagle is almost done, and am having tons of fun with all the tiny pieces. However, I still haven't decided on the background. I have 6 meters of blue and white cloud material, that, I could incorporate, or do a string background like the orginal pattern, or... You know what...there are so many options, but, for now, I'll work on the eagles...maybe inspiration will strike...haha

Can you post a progress picture so we can ooohhh and ahhh? I love this pattern and would love to see how you're approaching it.
|
I would love to see it too. It looks like an awesome pattern. Probably way over my skills though
|
Have you posted any pictures of your eagles in progress on the board?
