dtreusch Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 You did a great job!! The quilting really enhances the quilt. Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Love those feather curls. And the outer border. Borders just seem to really dress up a quilt. All that cross-hatching, wow. What did you use for that cross-hatching?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 You did a fanatastic job on this quilt that had originally stumped you. Very Very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Love it. I would never have imagined that you would cross hatch it, but it looks great. I love the blocks. So fancy. And that feather border is perfect. Did you use a stencil? I wish mine looked like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzollin Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Thanks for all the kind words! To do the crosshatching, I put some painters tape on my ruler as a reference and went for it. I didn't realize how hard it would be to match up all the different lines coming together though. After I started I realized that I have a Hartley Fence, and should have used that. I saw Myrna doing crosshatch with it at the Nashville AQS Expo last year, but I didn't have my machine yet, so it was a bit over my head. Maybe someone will demonstrate for me this coming week at the expo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Jill, You did a wonderful job on the quilt. I love the interesting designs you created in the blocks. Your feathers and crosshatching are fabulous! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Jill-- You nailed it! The designs you chose were perfect--the combo of beautiful crosshatching and the great feathers contrasted perfectly--the feathers softened the angles and made you really look at the piecing. An all-around stunning job! Now I know who to ask when I am stumped--you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 WOW, Jill, you did a fantastic job. I wouldn't have thought about combining the feathers and the cross hatching, but was a great combination. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathymartinez Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 This is really an example of what gorgeous quilting can do for a quilt. Do you do those feathers completely freehand? Draw them out first? Use a template? what's your secret? Beautiful, beautiful work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeta Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 OHHHH! How beautiful. I am sure your customer will be delighted and will bring you lots more quilts. Thanks for sharing. Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzollin Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks Julie, I did stop by and see Myrna at the Nashville show. We went over the HF a bit, and she did say that it is best to crosshatch with it for larger areas. I am glad to say that I will think to use it if I ever do whole blocks with it in. Kathy, I did freehand the feathers.....so don't look too closely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 WOW...I stand so corrected....I thought it would be best with an all over type pattern....I WAS SO wrong, this is beautiful. Will make me stop and rethink whenever I get another one like this. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
