dbams Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Completed this in August. It was the first quilt I finished since doing Rita's quilt back in March. (It was a busy spring and summer.) Also my first time doing feathers. Not great, but not too bad. Free BOM from AQS from several years ago. Numerous errors in the pattern, so I guess I got what I paid for. Gave it to my aunt, and she was thrilled. All's well that ends well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Nice to see that your quilting again. Love the colors in the quilt and I'm sure the feathers are just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootsquilts Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Betsy, what a lovely quilt, your quilting and feathers look really nice, and I think it looks great. The colors are really beautiful. Another really beautiful thing is the two ladies in the picture. Which one is you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By a happy coincidence, her clothes matched the quilt that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job!!! Thank you for sharing. Cagey Thanks, Cagey! I believe I corrected for all the errors in the pattern. They were things like not cutting enough pieces, not saying to trim HSTs to the correct size, etc.. I did not make the quilt until a year or more after the full pattern had been revealed, and when I contacted the designer to ask for corrections/updates, she was very dismissive. No apology for the inaccuracies, essentially just the pattern is going to be published so I can't give you that information, you'll figure it out. I really think she was using AQS members to beta test the pattern. She is a well-know designer, with many patterns and books, but needless to say, she has lost the opportunity for my business.

Cagey Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Betsy; Thank you for the update. I guess I will have to watch for the pattern/designer, and be careful of any purchase. I for one do not like poorly written instructions, as I make enough on my own. Especially if I have to buy more fabric because of their error and not mine. In the end, you made it turn out lovely. I am sure I would not have been that lucky. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbaldwin Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I love it! You did a wonderful job. I dont see anything wrong with your quilting.
