Headless peacock

The start of a new project. The first time I saw Violet Craft's new peacock pattern, I knew I had to have it. So when it arrived at my local quilt shop, I immediately ran over to pick it up. I knew I had the perfect fabric somewhere in my sewing room, because I remembered buying some peacock-coloured fabrics a couple of years ago.

Finding it was a bit of a challenge, until I recalled that I had put some fabric collections aside waiting for that perfect project. I pulled it out, checked quantities, and amazingly hsd enough of everything I needed, even the 4 yards of background.

24 (or so) quilting hours later, I have all the main feathers and a body for my peacock.
