Magnificent Lone Star


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.



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