Heart Feathers


Alita made this cot sized lone star quilt as a present for her great grandson.  She asked me to quilt heart shaped feathers in the corner squares.

  8. As beautiful as the quilting in on the quilts, I always wonderer if it was functional to do so much quilting on a quilt destined to be well used. Then Don Beld came to our guild to give a trunk show. He is an expert on antique quilts, particularly Civil War quilts. He explained that the function of heavy quilting in the olden days was to trap the body heat between the layers to keep the user warm by not letting the heat given off travel to the surface of the quilt. Now I know why heavy quilting is both functional and beautiful - as yours always are Desley.
