Reproduction Fabrics and Traditional Quilting



When Marion brought me this quilt my heart skipped a beat.  Even my husband, when he saw it on my machine, said that it is my kind of quilt as it is the design and fabrics I personally favour.  



Marion gave me artistic freedom to quilt it asking me to quilt it heavily with lots of feathers.  I was in heaven.



 
I quilted the straight lines in the sashing with the feathers in between to really emphasise it as a connector between the circular blocks.


The square piecing between the sashing I also quilted with some straight lines so the quilting here was more noticeable.


Each circular block was quilted differently with a combination of feathers and ditch stitching

    I can see how you were in heaven, I would have been too! looks like Marion's piecing is spot on, which helps us quilters so much. To be given the freedom is wonderful, that is a big responsibility. You did a beautiful job of it. Must have been hard to part with :-)
