ffq-lar Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Here is a tiny (34"x42") baby quilt. My new customer's second quilt. She loves piecing and loves the fabric with the tiny print, but only had two fat quarters. She felt she failed when choosing some companion fabrics--not enough contrast and she wasn't happy with the peach sashing. But, she sighed, make it look pretty if you can....

ffq-lar Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 A close-up of meandering hooked feathers. It took me 2 hours from load to unload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Your quilting certainly gives that quilt pizazz, but I really think it was lovely before you quilted it. A bit blended, but still nice. Now, it is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Me thinks the quilting definitely made that quilt. Can't go wrong with feathers is what I always say.:P You should have a recorder on so we can hear her squeal with delight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I love the hook feathers. I always forget how much movement that type of feather gives the feather spine.

Primitive1 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Gorgeous! I have wanted to try this, how do you decided where to start, do you mark out spines or just freehand them as you go, and do you start at the bottom and go up? Sorry for all of the questions!
