Owl on a Limb {Machine Quilting}

 I know owls have been around forever, but I still think they are cute as can be.  It's the big eyes, I think.  These cuties are all topstitched on (by the piecer, not me.) I love the look of the top stitching.

It was requested that I quilt this similar to the shop sample at Gracie's, which I did not quilt.  It gave me a chance to try some new things.  I did do some of my own adaptations, as the quilt at Gracie's was for a girl, and this one for a boy.  No flowers, of course.
