Bonnie H Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 A customer brought me a civil war quilt made of fabrics she bought on her trip back to Pennsylvania. The name of the pattern is LeMoyne House by Bonnie Blue Quilts. She has an idea about what she wanted in the blank squares -- feathered wreaths. I think I'm going to use my Circle Lord 4.40 inch micro feathers there. The other squares are paper-pieced and each 1/2 square triangle is 1 inch finished, so the piecing is rather small. My thoughts are to SID around the 6" paper-pieced Lemoynes to separate them from the feathered wreaths. Then SID around the inner first 1 inch of the pp block (the half square triangles sections) to separate that from the center star. Then use my circle templates to curve each section of the Lemoyne stars (not sure what this is called, like a Terry Twist but no twist). I will be feathering the outer quilt border per her request. Please tell me what you think. Or if you have a better idea (I'm sure mine is not the best!), please share. I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sounds like a plan to me! Since I like heavier quilting I would probably CC the small triangles and do background fill behind the wreaths but customer's budget would dictate that.

Bonnie H Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Lynn, CC was the word I couldn't think of. I hate it when that happens ... and it's rather frequent. Thanks for the advice. We haven't talked budget yet but I'm not sure there's going to be room for CC'ing all those little outer triangles, too. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I would cc the half square triangles around the star and put a swirly design in the star. Ardelle does beautiful stars, here's a link to some of her work... http://forum.apqs.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Quilter Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Nice Quilt, I agree just a CC in the 1/2S and a looped ribbion on the star points. Post Picks when complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
