Saturday, November 7, is National Bison Day so I'm sharing my thread painted "Bison Beauty" wall hanging made in 2018. Inspired by a photo: Original American Bison Cow photograph, copyright David J. Drew. Used with permission. The photo was taken at Maxwell Wildlife Refuge near Canton, KS.
"Bison Beauty" won several ribbons for me and hung in the 2018 International Quilt Festival in Houston.
This week I finally got all 130 "I Spy" blocks pieced together! Next week, I'll add the inner and outer borders.
Emerald & Scarlet
Sometimes I read instructions, sometimes I just look at the pattern photos to put a project together. This time I read the instructions but didn't check the pattern photos. I thought I knew what I was doing but wrong! I now have 32 blocks to take apart because the Kaffe Fassett Zig Zag and Jupiter stripes are running in the wrong direction. Easy work, just annoying because I didn't pay attention.
Until next time, Mayleen

Your Bison Beauty is phenomenal, Mayleen! Amazing you painted that with thread! I would love to see it up close, in person. The I spy is really cute, and so engaging for a young person. How annoying, discovering the Kaffe prints going in the wrong direction. I’m dealing with a similar oversight, totally my fault as there is no pattern.
Ps I just took a closer look at the detail photo of the bison. Such amazing work. And the hand quilting! Bravo! and congratulations on the ribbons.
I like your I Spy quilt top. I have been waffling for years on what pattern to use to make one for my great-grandchildren. I have the die for a hexagon and also have the octagon and I certainly have more than enough conversation prints.
Your bison quilt is spectacular!!
