Wow, what a fabulous quilt, longarmers are lucky to get to see many and varied quilts. It's a difficult job to give some quilts back to their rightful owners. Charlie's quilt was no exception, it was super even before quilting. This was a block of the month quilt using Thimbleberries fabrics from our Local Quilt Shop (LQS).Charlie had intended to quilt this one herself by hand or quilt as you go, but it's a big one. In the end after toying with the idea of full custom we decided on an allover feather meander. All 'freemotion handguided' by me..... at the last minute I decided to add a feather border too to give a more finished look to the back of the quilt. I think Charlie was delighted, she says this one is 'a keeper' to live on her bed....
Hobbs 80/20 batting, Glide thread in Khaki Sand which is a fabulous thread for blending on these autumnal coloured fabrics....100 x 80 inches
It was a pleasure Charlie....
Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do anything other than meandering feathers?" Perfect choice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTY!!!
ReplyDeletePretty! My cousin quilt-buddy was a big-time Thimbleberries lover. I always liked seeing her quilts in those fabrics. This reminds me of those. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your meandering feathers!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, you did a great job with the feathers, thanks for showing the back, it really shows the texture.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is so beautiful and your quilting fits perfectly. The idea with the border feather was right, absolutely lovely.

ReplyDeleteHow much do you mark your quilt when stitching feathers? I'm trying to improve my technique...
ReplyDeleteWow - that is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay - yet again - such a beautiful quilt! :O) Do you just wing it for this kind of all-over? Or do you maybe mark the spines? - Ani xx
