I dug through the fabric cupboards for all possibilities for crow fabrics. I like to have LOTS of choices when auditioning fabrics.......it took me awhile but I found 4 dozen black and gray fabrics.

The base crow fabric reads as a solid black, but it is a black on black print with leaves.
The next layer for the wing and tail feathers has some gray in it for contrast and texture.
Isn't this great eye fabric?
Here is Mr. Crow...........waiting for lots of thread work later.
Perfect fabric for dead leaves that have fallen to the bottom of the quilt.
A few dead leaves & petals at the bottom of the quilt with 2 yellow finches pecking around.
This yellow finch is sitting on a leaf, just eyeing up those scrumptious sunflower seeds!
Everything is fused down and all the applique design work is done.
Here is the completed Woven Sunshine Quilt Top.
Time to think about thread choices for the applique stitching.
The first thing I will start with is invisible thread to stitch down all the woven background strips........a little boring, but once that is done.....the fun will begin!
May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
