French Quarter Cowl (Pattern Only)

New Orleans is one of my very favorite places to travel.  The music, the food, the history and architecture—and the iconic ironwork balconies you see all around the city.  This colorwork cowl is inspired by those balconies with the lights of the French Quarter shining around them.
