Huge Appliqué Quilt


Hand appliqué and pieced, this beautiful quilt was made by Jenny as a present for a friend's granddaughter for her 21st birthday.


Jenny worked solidly on this quilt, sometimes over ten hours a day, starting it in October 2011, and finishing it in May this year, which I think is a tremendous effort.


I echo quilted around the appliqué, and I really like the effect in the centre of the quilt.  In the appliqué border I quilted some leaves in the larger areas as well to create some interest.  The cream border was just perfect for feathers.

    Jenny created a beautiful appliqued quilt and I think she made that cream border just for you to feather!! I really like how you spiraled your echo design between the appliqued blocks to keep it continuous, genius!
