Love it! The detail in your dragon is stunning, especially the way you quilted the wings!
I've been thinking about asking my son if he could draw a simple sleeping baby dragon for me to use in a quilt, he draws much better than I do. It's great when you can have a project where the two of you use different skills and come up with something amazing!

I am dumbfounded by that, I cannot see how it could possibly be better, it is spectacular!
This little (54X39ish) quilt started out as a whim. I asked my son to draw me a largish dragon that I could then put into a quilt. The drawing (on butcher paper) was folded up and stashed behind my desk for ages. I ran across it while cleaning and, since I was 'between' quilts, I decided to do something with the dragon.
I'm not totally happy with it (hence the title which is a quote from 'The Hobbit"). Creativity stalled out on me several times and I had to give myself a good old fashioned talking to...."Get upstairs and get that Dragon finished" I said.... And then I would find something else I needed to do. sooooo long story short, I did finally finish it and I'm happy that it is done!
