Then a year later, it was up for bid again. O my gosh! I bid a couple times and it went out of my reach again. There was only one solution: draw a similar eagle and make my own. I could afford that! Decided to make mine red and blue. Then I thought to make it more prim style, I would applique an uneven jagged edge around it all and it would look more like "me".
Here it is, out of the cupboard for this post.
Here you can see the funky, wacky prim sawtooth border.
Looking back, I wish I would have put more quilting in the outside border. O well, don't dwell on it now. When I made it in 2003, it was to commemorate Ohio being a state for 200 years. And just to make my own of that antique beauty I saw online years before.
One last look at an eagle..........
Always will be drawn to eagle quilts like many quilters are. I'm sure this won't be the last one I make.

I remember when that eagle quilt was on eBay the first time. I bid on it too;I didn't win it either. I still have a photo of it in my idea folder.
It is a beaut quilt. You can still add some quilting to the border. When it comes to quilting, I have always thought "more is more".
Fabulous! Great quilt and even more special because you drew it.
See your is even better, you made it your style. I like!
