I think I spent two days looking up mythical creatures before I finally selected the phoenix. I planned to a simple silhouette. I found a free clipart silhouette and thought perfect, nice and easy.
Why don't I ever stick to the plan?
First, it was making the bird from the colors of a fire, not one or two colors but ten. Then I got to think about how the phoenix rises from the ashes of fire ... so I fussy cut flames - luckily, I had the perfect fabric to use. I also used the flame fabric to bind this 11 x 11.5 inch little quilt.
I do like how he turned out. Come back on Monday and I'll tell you about all my boo-boo's making him. ;o)
