Dragon Quilt Update

Well...I thought I would post my latest status. Things are moving along on my latest dragon quilt...but I am moving a little bit more slowly than anticipated...Doesn't that does ALWAYS seem to the case? (sigh)

Anyway... 
I have everything cut-out and the quilt base done (Not quilted yet...but ready to be quilted....) Here is the final lay-out...The pink lines by the flowers represent where I am going to out some decorative stitching for the stems. (the spines are done...but not in the layout below...)


Here is the original sketch....
Quilt Details....
I did finish the head....I am quite pleased with how it turned out...

The Chickadees are almost done...I realized they need a little bit more...I want to add "wings" to make the bodies rounder.
And here are the wings...I am really happy...the trick is going to be how it looks when I stitch it down. 


My goal is to finish it by next weekend. I want to premier it at the Norwescon Artshow. http://www.norwescon.org/nwc37/exhibitors/art-show/ And then I will get back to a couple of bags I plan on doing.....plus Manuela's (my niece) Prom Dress. (Which I am very excited about!) 
As always...Live Long and Prosper...Theresa
