Yay!! I finished the big star lap quilt I've been working on. It's for a lady who loves feathers and she chose the colours.....
I love how it turned out - the colours remind me of Wedgewood china.
It measures 52" square and I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 wadding.
This was the only marking on the quilt - the spine of these feathers. Everything else is completely freehand ( on my trusty little domestic)

It'a gorgeous, Rhianon! Wow!
Absolutely beautiful quilting!
Rhianon, These are beautiful feathers, and I was thinking how hard that would be for me to do on my long arm, at my skill level. Then I realized you do this on a regular old sewing machine in your sewing room. That is truly amazing!! Love this!!!
ps. I finally made me a blog! I have been wanting to for awhile. There is only the opeing post, but after Christmas I'm going to try and post on it at least 3 to 4 times aweek. dkcquilts.blogspot.com Merry Christmas to you and your family
OMG! I'm so impressed and inspired by your work. I can only hope that I can come close to this level of excellence one day. Thanks so much for sharing...and for showing that good quilting *can* be done on a "regular" machine.
It's stunningly beautiful. :D One day - ONE DAY - I am going to be able to make feathers!!!! ::sigh::
