ffq-lar Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 On another post I vented about some horrible batting. As I explained on that post, the quilt top was at least 25 years old. The fabric was in great condition and it was well pieced. Here is a peek--she couldn't afford custom, so I gave her "semi-custom" for a nice price. She is in her 70s and is trying to finish up all her UFOs to present to family members. The designs are my old stand-bys--a feather overall and my version of McT-ing. A little line dancing in the blocks and it was done in about 8 hours--94"X104". Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy2018 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Dear Linda: Am very new to this, what is your secret to the all over feathers! If you could give out, what do you do first, then next, do you mark ahead? Thanks, this is exactly the look I like for many things, just need to start someplace with the ppp. Thanks, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Your wonderful comments warm my heart--thank you!! Here is a diagram of the feathers overall. Why is it easier to stitch something than to draw it??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Your version of semi-custom is way beyond what many of us think of as custom. You did a wonderful job on the quilting. The quilt is spectacular. Thank you for sharing your all-over feather design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy2018 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Dear Linda: Wow, thank you so much for the great drawing, I would never have figured that out, but I admit, I'll have to start out with only a few bumps, or I'll lose my place! Thanks again for the drawing, you experts look at something and can often figure it out, I need a little coaching.....Hopeful to try this, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
