This striking quilt in reproduction fabrics was made by
Barb. Whilst it could have been custom
quilted, Barb opted to have me quilt it with an allover freehand feather
design.
I wanted to try a more random feather with the feathers
going through a range of sizes as I thought this looked interesting and
elegant.
I practiced drawing it out to make sure I had the feel for
how the feathers would fit together.
Barb generously allows me to be creative and try new things on her
quilts which usually means she gets something special.
I was really happy with how the feathers looked, and they
show up great on the back.
The back is so pretty! I love the variations your feathers have. Must go do some drawing of my own...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt, and the feathering is divine. Must "learn" me the ability to do this. Or is it "confidence"? One day, it's gonna happen....... until then, I'll keep looking at your stunning work and dream.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilting job. What color thread did you use?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outcome! Such feathers are always so pretty on any kind of quilt.
