owl quilt!

I made my mom a little wallhanging for her birthday. She got it today in the mail so I can post pictures now.

the color scheme comes from the backing fabric - a fun owl print that has some of my mom's kinds of colors in it.

The design is from Dare to Be Square Quilting. I made it half scale and didn't follow the instructions. (They are slightly illogical, where the solid borders are constructed from multiple strips instead of one big piece, and the internal pieces look like log cabins but are constructed from many small pieces.)

I really like the final product, and I think my mom does too!

I saw it over at your mom's. It is so incredibly cute. This is one I had to call my girls over to look at.
