Sylvie Aquilar quilt from TCQC 12-18-22

"Bluebird" was Sylvie Aguilar's contribution to the SAQA 2022 online auction.  Her skills are excellent and I like the balanced design.  And, of curse, the blue - orange color choices.   UPDATED 12-25-22

"Bluebird" Sylvie Aquilar -     12" X 12"

Commercial cotton fabrics, cotton thread, cotton batting.

Machine pieced, fused raw-edge applique, machine quilted.  

Glue stick!

The realistic eye is fused raw-edge.  The orange feathers are fused glued with glue stick and then stitched down. 

The edge of the feathers are cut very precisely, fused, glued with glue stick but not stitched down. They look like they are loose and some are, but I could press them all down again.  It is probably just from handling and transporting.  But I do like the loose feather look.

Nice printing on the label, but no contact. oops!

The channel (matchstick) background quilting shows up nicely on the back. She has sewn in corner hangers.  Machine stitched binding, very neat and even.
