Ethan's Ducks Unlimited Quilt

 It was finally dry enough outside to take pictures of grandson Ethan's quilt, Ducks Unlimited.  The quilt measures 100" x 102".  Daughter-in-law Amy, Ethan's mother, found the small duck prints at a secondhand store, all on one big sheet of fabric; I cut them apart.  The central panel of mallard ducks was designed by artist Randy McGovern.

The batting is Quilters' Dream 80/20.  I used Magnifico 40-wt. top and bottom, Cream Puff on top and Venetian Blue in the bobbin.  I designed the quilt in EQ8.  It was quilted on my hand-guided 18" Handi Quilter Avanté.  The pantograph is called 'Ducks Taking Off', by Deb Geissler.  The quilt took 79 hours from designing to label.  The label was machine-embroidered on my Bernina Artista 730.
