Janette Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 This is a customer quilt which I have freehand quilted and used a couple of rulers too.. I used Hobbs wool and glide thread (my favourite). While quilting it I wasn't loving it and was worried that it was a bit disjointed but after taking it off the frame, I love the secondary designs that bring it together.

Janette Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well that's the best compliment I've ever had Vicki... I did mark my centre feathers in the motifs to try and keep consistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janette Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I love this! Especially the way you divided the design. Did you use a tool to get those center feather teardrops so perfect? Hi Libby, well they're not so perfect up close.. Lol. But yes I used a circular ruler and I made myself a cardboard template for the centre arc shape, and lightly marked the shape so it hit the middle of the triangle in the block. I free handed the feathers and when I reached the middle I used the best sized circle ruler to use at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Gorgeous, Janette! You must feel really proud of your work on this Yes thanks, I finally feel like I am getting somewhere with custom work. I really must custom one of my own quilts though so I can keep it for myself.

Sheri Butler Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Nice! I too LOVE those center rectangular hexies quilted like that!! Really changed up the actual pattern of the quilt top itself. One of my favorite things to do to quilts these days.. Some you can do it to, and others, just scream original.
