Ever since I discovered I could do feather quilting, I've been trying to dream up ways of getting more chances to practice!Here is a little preemie quilt that is made from a few orphan bowtie blocks left over from a swap after I had made a twin sized quilt for myself. I thought the red blocks were a bit too dominant to use in the larger quilt, but they go very well together.
The white spaces were calling out for feathers, so I did some of Patsy Thompson's 'circling the element' motifs. They are far from perfect, but I think they are pretty :)
really nice feathers, did you use a polyneon thread or rayon?your feather have a nice shine to them.
ReplyDeleteThat was a perfect space for feathers, your practice is paying off - these are well executed!
