Description:

Quilt made by quilters at The Golden Agers Club, Easton, Bristol. This quilt uses a traditional American design called Hovering Hawks. Hawks, or old turkey buzzards, are commonly seen in the skies in south western America. The quilt is made up of blocks (or squares) and each one has the hovering hawk shape inside it, which looks similar to the bird in flight.The blocks are then placed together at different angles to make the overall quilt design. The quilter tries to contrast tone and pattern so that the design can be seen.
