This gorgeous quilt belongs to Beryl. It is Michelle Yeo’s ‘Abbeville Country’ pattern.
Beryl asked me to quilt it with traditional quilting and she said that she liked feathers. As the background fabric would show up the quilting the most, this is where I concentrated the most detailed quilting.
I used my curved cross hatching rulers to create the quilting at the corners of the blocks, which mirrored the shape of the piecing – these are very handy rulers, useful for more than just curved cross hatching. I brought the feathers around the piecing to emphasise the design.

I have quilted a number of this design over the years - I wish I had taken more photos in the past. I am much better at remembering to pull out the camera now that I am blogging.
Here are a couple of photos I found of Barb’s and Joan’s quilts.
