I starting to quilt feathers between the blocks on my Farmer's Wife 1930's quilt. I'm doing them in sections. There are 5 columns between blocks that will need feathers. I'm just doing that area in each of the columns. When finished, I will advance the quilt.
This way, I'll only advance the quilt once every time the 5 feathers are done. I was also taught to make sure I sew the spine either at the beginning or the end of making the feather which I can do using this method.
I haven't quilted feathers since last year but they're coming back to me! I like how it looks so far.
Love how your quilt is coming along. I need to work on my quilting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colette! It's so hard to keep practicing. It's really the only way to improve. I wish I'd practiced my feathers more but they're okay!
DeleteBoy this is just gorgeous quilting you are doing...
ReplyDeleteIt will be so pretty hugs, Julierose
Thank you, Julierose! I like quilting feathers and I need the practice. Don't look too closely!
DeleteThis looks great! The feathers are perfect for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I feel a little rusty as I quilt them. I haven't quilted feathers in awhile. I'm hoping I get a little more comfortable!
DeletePerfect pattern for the quilting and great execution. Its gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Dawn!
DeleteI just reread your last Thursday post...thought I'd commented but missed it somehow. I get AQ at the library and enjoy it. I also noted that recipe, Rosemary. I am always looking for meal ideas that are on the healthier side. Anyway, my but this quilting you are doing is magnificent! How talented you are!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you, Jocelyn! I'm so glad you like my quilting. I'm so lucky to have a longarm. I try to practice but it doesn't happen as often as it should! Hope you like that recipe!
DeleteThe feathers and crosshatching look great. Can't wait to see this finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karen! I hope it looks good when it's all done. I tried a few different designs and not sure they look good together.
