Boni Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 After working for three weeks on my Kaleidoscope and doing the little freehand that I did, I can now appreciate what you gals do with quilts like this. To do one design repeatedly is great practice, but it's that repetitive motion that trains the muscles to make the design consistent over and over again. It is possible to make them identical, but it's also charming when a little individualism takes over and gives it that one-of-a-kind look. Shannon, keep up the great work, and may you forever love what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 thanks gals/guys! i was asked if i wanted to quilt it and i was like "uh....heck yeah!" i knew that i was going to feather it to death. ok answers to ?s: to Deb with QuiltArt- it's the same color, a med gray except one border which i used a teal and it's all freehand. Judi O. (and Kristinia) i drew out the way i quilted it. i finally got the nerve to try a feather design i've been pondering. its completely continious. no backtracking, both sides of the 'spine' at once. great for borders And OF COURSE i remember you mrs. sloan *wave from GA* still working on my wallhanging....*sigh* one of these days... how have you enjoyed the 2 million+ guests in your neck of the woods?

quiltjunkie Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 What's left to say...just stunning..I love Jenny Beyers stuff but have found that her patterns don't always "fit" together as they should. But her colors and the patterns are always so stunning I guess it's makes it worth the extra effort. Your quilting is definately the iceing on this.

Belbelle Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Beautiful. Just saw this same pattern hanging at my LQS, and it doesn't even look like the same quilt. Your amazingly luscious feathers put it in a whole different category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
