Feathers & More Feathers

This quilt was calling out for something special. So something special is what it got! Lots of feathers; gosh I love feathers! The outer border and the inner border both have feathers. All the white area around the stars have feathers that spiral out from the center of each star. There is a “continuous curve” design that goes through all the squares that bisect the quilt. And just to top it off, each of the stars has a different motif. I used three colors of thread on the quilt so the thread color would not be too much on certain areas of the quilt. And keep these  quilts coming Gayle! Great job on this one.

Eagle Scout Quilt

Wendy made this quilt for her son who is now an Eagle Scout. She did a bunch of neat piecing and applique with all sort of “boy scout” things. So we decided to add some boy scout fleur de lis, eagles, stars, banners, some continuous curves, and a curvy background fill to round out the design. Using five colors of thread to match the top so as not to be too distracting, I think the final outcome came out nicely.

Happy quilting!

Continuous Curve Works

The “continuous curve” design really works on this quilt! The fun, retro colors and shapes of this quilt just called out for something graphic with an old-fashioned feeling. Using “Baguette” colored thread also enhanced the retro look I think. It’s always challenging when someone leaves the quilting design up to me. I don’t want to do too much, or too little. So I sweat over design decisions until I find a design that enhances the quilt while still making it unique – because each quilt is a unique piece of art and deserves the best I can give it.

Happy quilting!
