I had an odd shaped triangle that I was trying to machine quilt. I looked at all sorts of websites but couldn't find anything I really liked. I started looking through some of my quilt books and finally found what I was looking for! It is called Plume Feather. It's more of a fern than a feather.Thank you, Angela Walters! I found it in her book, Free-Motion Quilting. I buy books all the time and don't always end up using them. This time, this book was a life saver!
I practiced it a few times on some scrap fabric and when I was comfortable enough, I did it! I was a bit nervous but am happy with the results. Here's another view:
I'm happy with my quilting so far. I just tend to take awhile in making decisions concerning just what quilt motif to use. I can all over meander a quilt in a few days but find it so much more time consuming when quilting different designs in different areas. Maybe, in time, that will become quicker too.
I'll be linking up at Amy's Free Motion Quilting Adventures for the final week of free motion feathers. This month has just flown by!
Glad you found what you were looking for - it's very lovely! Well worth the time you put into it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb! It fits this shape perfectly!
DeleteWow the quilting looks great, so glad you are pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteCheers Pauline
Thank you! The second I saw it, I knew it would fit that odd triangle!
DeleteHi...Got the same book but have not used it thus far. Definitely the right design for that shape. Looking very good, indeed
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karin! You're such a great machine quilter. It means a lot to hear your nice words.
DeleteYour feather looks wonderful! Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have done it without you! I love your books and Craftsy classes. I've learned so much from you! Thank you!!
DeleteFits the spot perfectly! Nicely done. Thanks for linking up. "Sit and Stare" time is definitely part of the process and I do hope it gets less time consuming to plan the quilting as we gain experience!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Amy! It was fun to try this and I really liked the results!
DeleteLooks so fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thanks for visiting and leaving a nice comment!
DeleteThat was a great way to fill that triangular shape. I find deciding on what to quilt in each area the most challenging. It's such a relief once I've got a design down on paper ready to quilt. The quilting's the fun part. Great job.
ReplyDeleteAll the decision making is the hardest part! Quilting is definitely the most fun part of the process! Thanks for visiting!!
DeleteRosemary your feather turned out perfectly on this block. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's actually easier than it looks!
