The version you made is just charming! I really like those three vertical strips, that give it just a hint of modern, and the background print has such good movement. Your combo of straight-line quilting in the center, with your beautiful feathers, is perfect.

Strangely feathers are easier for me than most other forms of free motion. My eyesight has deteriorated to the point now that I'm only able to do a basic version that doesn't require backtracking over any previous stitches. I can send you a sketch of how they're formed if you send me an email address.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898155445938416840.post-66404838425344993622021-06-29T18:42:50.536-04:002021-06-29T18:42:50.536-04:00Love how you took a quilt and made it your own.

You know this little quilt is super! But, I really do want to know how you got so good at creating those freehand stitched feathers. Did you take a class, learn on line, or just practice and practice and practice. I have a freehand foot for my Bernina and have used it mainly for patching things. Just for the record, I love this quilt!
