Appliqué Medallion Quilt

This was heaven to quilt.  The instructions from Denise when she brought it to me to be quilted were - lots of feathers, and it could be quilted densely.  As I had quilted for Denise before, I felt comfortable having artistic freedom with her quilt.  The quilt was beautifully pieced and appliqued.  Denise made it for her son and daughter-in-law for their wedding present.

As you can see, it is quilted densely, and there are feathers.  Almost all the piecing was ditch stitched to stabilise the quilt.  I was originally going to put some sort of curls in the wider dark pink border - but it just didn’t feel right.  The quilt was almost finished when I decided to do the pinstripes.  It took longer, but I think  it works better; giving contrast to the feathers.
