Dr. Seuss-like Feathers


This quilt is also from Janet Sansom.  She wanted feathers in the sashing.  I liked the curve of the embroidery in the block and decided to imitate it.


I did this by randomly chalking in the boundary between the feathers in each sashing piece.  I was thinking as I quilted it that it reminded me of Dr Seuss’ illustrations.







I have linked to Esther’s Blog for her WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays.
