A Finish....Gilded Churn Dash!

It's not that it was a big quilt or a difficult design....just that at the moment I don't have much time to quilt!

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and Metro thread top and bottom in navy and a gray/blue.

I stitched in the ditch (SID) the main blocks and then it was freemotion feathers with a small amount of ruler work for the continuous curve in the churn dash blocks.

There's a continuous double spine feather in the border but it's difficult to photograph on the dark fabric.

I marked registration dots in the blue blocks and used a curved ruler for the lozenge shapes and then freemotioned the feathers with no markings...they turned out quite well,  just need to work a little on the spacing for the feather fronds to get them more even and consistent.....

I started this quilt to use up that navy gilded fabric...in the end I think the gilded  fabric gives the quilt an elegant touch, it's on the back too!

The finished quilt measures 50 x 62 inches an is the perfect size for the back of a sofa.....it doesn't really match the decor of this room but it can stay there for a while!
