AnnHenry Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Very nice job! But if you are sincere in requesting constructive criticism, the only thing that jumps out at me is that perhaps your feathers are a bit big for the size of the girl, at least as seen in the very first block. The quilting almost overpowers the girl. You might want to think about making the feathers smaller. But they are nice feathers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhend Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Pretty, pretty, pretty. I'm partial to the blue quilt. Very nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauras Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Are those "hooked on feathers"? The kind Sally Terry teaches? They look very nice. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Monika, Very nice job on those feathers. I especially like the double ones in the blue quilt borders. I hope to one day do as well. I've just gotten a longarm (1 week ago), so it may be a little while before I will attempt them. Nice going. Dar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwltnldy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I think they are both fantastic. I need to get a wave template but right now I use Kimmy Brunner's method she taught on her Twirly Whirly video for my spines. I still need to practice 'cuz they aren't as evenly spaced as I would like. The only comment I have is that I think maybe the border in the blue and white quilt may have benefitted from a little something in the background behind the feathers, like the blocks had. Maybe a crosshatch or even the stipple again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Monika, I love how your quilting makes the Sunbonnet Sue quilt look so feminine. Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2kwilt Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Monika, SWEET! I just love the feathers! I don't think that they are too big for Sue, either. Great job! I suppose something could go in the background of the blue one, but I think it looks great just as it is! Keep up the great work!

smorris Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi Monika I love the pink and white quilt - the feathers and background fill are so pretty. sue in australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlover03 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thank you all again for your wonderful comments. I know that the Sun Bonnet Sue Quilt looks busy but these are closeup pictures and when the Quilt lays on the bed it is just perfect, I think anyway and so far my Customer is very happy. The blue and white Quilt has scalloped edges and the motif you see fills out the space between the inner border and the swag scallop. I am not a big fan of cross hatching, it looks good on some Quilts, but this one was not it. It has enough hard lines with the saw tooth border so we made the quilting soft and curvy. Isn't it nice how we can all see so many different ways to quilt the same Quilt? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Monika those quilts are wonderful. feathers are great, and I love the way you used the bump-bump feathers inside the sawtooth border. You are doing great. Liam, Holly and Stephany, I have nearly laughed myself ill over your descriptions. Mine looked more like farts, no one can tell what they looked like or what they were...

Georgene Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 These quilts look very professional. I love your feathers. I'm gonna get brave one day and just go for it. I hope I do as good as you have. Yours are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFQuilts Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Congratulations on the feathers. You've done a beautiful job and your customers should be pleased. There must be something in the air - I just did my first feather borders finishing off a Drunkard's Path quilt. Mine aren't as nice as yours, but they still make me feel very happy. We have to start somewhere! Sharing your grin, Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
