Design Challenge Entry: 'Canadian Winter Wildlife by Su_G' - fabric mockup

'Canadian Winter Willdlife by Su_G': a one yard cheater quilt and my entry in the Canadian Wildlife Design Challenge, featuring wintry weather and cold-loving creatures: Arctic hare, beaver, moose, polar bear, seal, whale, walrus. © Su Schaefer 2020
Creating this design reminded me of being fooled by the lifesize - or was it more than lifesize? - moose on the outskirts of Moose Jaw when driving in from Vancouver in the middle of winter in a distant year... It was the first time I ever saw snow, which I thought was the suds from an out-of-control washing machine in the traffic ahead, approaching Seattle... (the stories we tell ourselves!). I loved the sound of snow chains, clinking on the road; another memory that returns. I hated having cold feet: it took a while to outfit appropriately for cross-country travels in Canada in winter, the like of which cold I had never experienced in my warm country.
I'll try & remember to add a link for voting when it opens if anyone's interested!
[Note to self: scale needs to be larger scale for the cheater quilt purpose after voting closes.]
