I was very excited when Barbara brought me this quilt. When she gave me artistic freedom, and told
me I could quilt it heavily with lots of feathers, I was in heaven. I really enjoyed quilting this quilt, and
thank Barbara for entrusting it to me.
I decided to break down the cream setting triangles to
mirror the setting of the star into the quilt, and quilt different feather
motifs in each.
I also broke up the unusual shape in the corners to make the
feathers more interesting.
I thought the quilting in contrasting thread showing on the
dark purple back was gorgeous.
Unfortunately it was a dull rainy day when I took the photos so they
didn’t show the quilting on the back as well as I would have liked.
You are amazing!

ReplyDeleteWonderful, inspiring quilting. I especially love the quilted rows in the white spaces.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! I like that you didn't do the obvious one big feather in the cream, the fact that you broke the area up has really made this something extra special!
