Purple Feathers

My Client brought me this quilt and said - I just want some feathers on it, and make it look pretty. You know? I think I like it when Clients say that. I had a BLAST quilting this quilt.

In the purple I drew curving feathers, and in the whites I offset the curviness with straight lines.


I really liked this effect!


In the tiny purple border I used a squiggly line that echoed what I did in the white.

I tried to get down on the floor...
I LOVE the texture!!

This was a fun quilt to do.
Now I want to make one!!

I've been spending a lot of energy looking at finished quilts where the quilter took the time to play out the right designs for that particular quilt. I enjoyed seeing what you chose.

Those two styles of quilting go so well on that quilt. Sometimes I get frozen with, "how to quilt it". Your fun at choosing a motif for this quilt speaks for itself. Congrats on a great finish.

Your quilting is beautiful! Your client did a great job on the HSTs. I can never make mine line up.

Pretty! I love the effect - you get the nice feathers, but the purple fabrics get to sing out clearly. :D
