Some pictures of a very involved custom quilt that was finished last month. The straight feather sections were done with the IQ, also the diagonal 1/4" lines. The outer border was hand-guided, echoing all the applique, and also the straight line filler.
A very beautiful quilt- all that applique is done with perfect teeny tiny needle-turn hand stitching. For some reason I can't find a picture showing the whole quilt. But there are 9 large blocks just like the one in the first picture below. The quilter had made this from a pattern in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine if I remember right, and the magazine article showed how the original quilt was done. I tried to keep the same style of quilting as the original, but I did have to change it a little as the original one was antique, and the quilting was done by hand on that one.

Custom quilt- feather wreaths
Isn't this a cheery quilt... beautiful floral prints & white background. I repeated a feather wreath in the body of the quilt- looks nice on the back, too with all the feathers.

New Pattern- All-Over Feathers
This is a new design available- All-over Feathers (designed by Ellen Munich). I think this design will work great with alot of quilts- a nice companion to floral fabrics. Creates texture without overwhelming the prints.
