There are some real beauties there but I am also really taken with the rooster! The landscape behind him is obviously done watercolour style with squares on point, but I can't make out if his feathers are all fused down or if some are left fluttering? :-D Did you happen to see how it was done?

I've seen this technique done where the fabric is ironed onto fusible then the feathers cut out - that way, they all get stuck down. I did a seagull wall hanging a while ago where I used fusible batting to temporarily hold the feathers in place then I FMQd each one down. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111908-1.htm
I've had the idea to do a pheasant in this same technique and recently I've been playing with watercolour landscapes - thanks to your post, I think I'll combine the two. :-D

I'm thinking of doing the pheasant next year for the Pictorial category of our (UK) biggest quilt show, the Festival of Quilts. It's at the end of August so I have a little time. :lol:
