Today I am working on another beautiful quilt by Janet Sansom. My instruction from Janet for the quilting in the pink ‘v’ shape was to treat it as one area, and to incorporate some kind of curling feathers.
I decided to let Janet’s embroidery design be my inspiration, and I started by chalking in my design ideas.
These were the tools I used to mark the chalk lines.
Once I was happy with the design outline, I took a deep breath and started quilting.
I am happy with how it looks. And I really enjoyed the creative challenge.
I will show you the whole quilt when it is finished.
I love feathers too and I just know it's going to be fantastic... coz everything you do is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love seeing the feathers that you quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow that is gorgeous, fits the quilt perfectly! I love the wedding ring quilt in your previous post but couldn't find the designs for sale on Janet's website, will they be available soon?
