I have just finished my challenge piece for this month. Way out of my comfort zone, but I diligently worked away and find that it turned out not too bad. Our challenge was, use three of the primary colors and their compliments. I chose to use all three primaries and their varying hues. We also were to fracture the piece and to use something with wings. I did a still life, as the raven always seems to sneak into them, but this time he is front and center. Fracturing is totally new to me, and I think I might have got a bit carried away. I was trying for a dark side wall and the sun rays coming in onto the light wall. This is one technique that I would like to do more of. That is what so great about the FFFC group, a challenge every month.

Love the raven. Those birds are a favorite here in Maryland. I haven't tried fractures yet...not even sure where to start. I like what you did though.
Rhoda, this is whimsical and fun! Love the fractures - I've only done that once before. How big is your quilt?
Beth it is 19x22". It was a struggle to do the fractures, but turned out not bad.
I love this one.. and I love your ravens!
You did a really great job on this!
