LibbyG Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey, CathyH, WH stands for wall hanging. I like to try and think of different ways to name the quilts. This quilt was a pattern made by a guild member, so it doesn't have any name. Joan, I practiced the design a little, thought I had it, tried it on a quilt and realized the spine can't go up to the seam. You need room to do the outside two feathers. Then when I bought Linda Rech's sashing book, there was the design. By looking at it carefully, I figured out how to do it better and I was really happy because it's such a nice design. Thank you everyone for such nice comments. This forum is the best for helping and encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anicatt Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Looks lovely On the zigzag part - did you SID or is it the close finish with the feathers making it pop? - Ani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Ani, On the first quilt I did for another member, I did SID and then I realized that it wasn't really necessary. If you guilt the feathers close to the end it looks like you did SID and saves A LOT of time. DeLoa Jones taught me that in one of the first classes I took. The problem I had on the first quilt with SID is that the material wasn't all going to the dark side. So when I did SID it was white on black fabric and I said never again. So I look closely at the way the material goes when I decide to SID. This quilt was also very square. So I stabilized the big blocks first. Then only SID around the little white feather sashing just to be sure everything was square. After that I didn't do any SID. Thanks again for all the wonderful comments. I love this forum!
