Linda's third quilt.She really has come a long way.....................her skills improving with every quilt she completes. I'm lucky that she lets me do as I please......... so that means feathers!
The front of the quilt. I added a small curved crosshatching in the smaller squares. The larger squares I set out a swirling square feather to spread out into the corners.
Pity the back isn't on display. I like the way the quilting design shows up on the back of the quilts.
For me, it's a gamble to be doing custom quilting when the backing fabric is a solid. It tends to show up all of the backtracking on feathers and any other little bumps in my quilting.
Using the thinner threads, ........... So Fine on the top, and bottom line thread on the bottom helps prevent the thread build up. I think it looks okay, I've still lots of improving to do.
I love your quilting! The curved crosshatch looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this, I made a trellis years ago and plan to do another sometime, it's one of my favourites...and I love feathers!

ReplyDeleteNice work on a very pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou do such gorgeous work. I wish I had someone who lived close by me who could do long arm quilting.
ReplyDeleteJust had this same quilt brought today, doesn't want to spend heaps, but wants custom, not sure how to do this, yours looks great, but she doesnt want that much quilting.
ReplyDeleteWill need to hang this up and let it "talk" to me I think.
