It's a top!
Peacock Feathers
60 x 80
It's made of long skinny tumblers (or champagne flutes?) of peacock fabrics and solids cut with a Dresden ruler.
Actually, this is made of scraps left over from making a quilt top back in July 2017 called Peacock Fans that is still after all these years in the to-be-quilted pile.
After that top was finished I sewed up the extra Dresden fan blades into a "Before-I-Forget" strip in September 2017. Then what did I do? Immediately forgot about it until December 2020.
In December 2020 I assessed the UFO and decided that I would cut more tumblers/champagne flutes.
This month I sewed the pieces together as a sort of leader/ender project while making all my "Roses in December" quilt tops. I sewed them together randomly (mindless, no-thinking sewing) into pairs then fours then eights and so on. There are 66 pieces in a row and 15 rows.
Another UFO moved forward to the to-be-quilted pile!

You know I love your scrappy inventiveness! Dresdens are now Champagne Flutes in my book!
SO PRETTY!! Lots of intense cutting and sewing but was all worth it!
OMG, I LOOOOVE this quilt top. I remember when you first mentioned it (was it that long ago?!?) The colors are gorgeous and I’m totally a fan of anything peacock (no pun intended. And you should see my peacock bathroom!) I may have to make one of these, too!
The perfect sort of leader/ender, Cathy. Well done!
