It's about 25" square. I tried a machine reverse applique for this rather than fusing, and I will probably tweak the quilting some more. Although I usually face my quilts, this one seemed to look better with the black binding. Originally, I had designed the "bird" to be "flying" toward the upper right corner, but decided I liked the above orientation better.
I'd appreciate critiques, even though this is late . . . again.

this is a very appealing interpretation of the challenge. ALthough I haven't tried reverse applique yet, it seems perfect for this.
The abstract of one of my favorite birds is very effective!
I like the curves more vertical, too. I would have liked a little more variation in the four in the lower right. They don't seem to be exploding as much as the others. I do like the color scheme. It's a very soothing piece even though you are going for energy.
I love this abstraction and what a perfect name for the piece! Either orientation does it for me so no preference there. The only suggestion, and this is just a personal preference, is that the yellow and white bird shapes are even numbers and I would probably take textile paint and color one of the small white [in the grouping of 4] yellow. That would balance the numbers and give that extra variation in that grouping. Great job!
I love your interpretation of Goldfinches in spring. I have been feeding about 200 this winter and love watching them turn from drab to bright this time of the year. A group just took flight and so resembled your piece. I like either orientation.
Well, I'm finishing up mine and will post it, so at least you're not the last!
LOVE this piece! I love the graphic nature of your color choices, the grey with the black and gold popping out.
I love the movement and the repetition. The rhythm is also great!
In addition, from what I can see, you've executed this masterfully in your technique. So, what's not there to like?
