yankiequilter Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I couldn't help myself. When I saw how much space was between the spirals on the new Circle Lord Milky Way template I thought, WOW! I can use the spirals as a spine and quilt feathers between them. This is a cool way to use the template. :cool: The pattern is the Disappearing 9 Patch, Hobbs 80/20, YLI on top, Magna Glide on the bottom. This is the first time that I've quilted hooked feathers and I can sure use more practice, but it was fun to do. Quilt Close up - but not too close, I don't want you to see the wobbles in my feathers. Back I turned the quilt sideway to see how the quilting looked and think it looks really neat this way.

You'll love the template and I can see how using the spirals from the template and free motion between will lend itself to a lot of wonderful quilting designs.

BlueSkies Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Wow Carmen, I didn't like that templete at all. I figured that I would have little use for it, but I love what you did. Hmmm, I will have to re-think that templete, after all. Looks beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njquiltergirl Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 That looks teriffic! How clever of you. On a manly quilt, the feathers could be more like leaves or the arrows Sue Patten has done. Beautiful...CL is so versatile!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
