Shira needs a new quilt. She had a baby one, but she isn’t a baby anymore. I like complex patterns and this one fits the bill: Eclipse by Sharon McConnell.

Pink is a must for Shira, I happen to have a lot of fabric with foxes, from my CrazylikeFox gift exchange group.
But then I decided to add all kinds of animal prints. I realize that Shira’s first quilt had only owls, so I guess I”m sticking with an animal theme.
Owls of course, although I don’t have many owl prints, I know, foxes and hedgehogs have replaced the owl, thank God. If I’m using an owl print, it can’t be cutesy, it has to have some whimsy to it.
6 more blocks to go. I’m trying to get a balance between dark, light and medium prints.
This is a fiddly pattern, not a quick make in a day – which is just the kind of pattern I like.
