Ferret Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I don't know if you remember my wholecloth with a mariners compass on it, but I promised to try and get a good picture of it. Well I finally managed it, it's large but you can see the quilting now. Boy was it tricky to do. If you are interested it is on my blog, click on the image to see it full size (it really is big so be patient). Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks guys it was a lot of fun to do as well. This was the first time feathers had worked for me so they are kinda special. I thought I was never going to get them. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsurich Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Very inspiring quilt! Thank you for sharing with us. I do believe you have the feathers down to perfection. Did you mark spines on the entire quilt and then feather or did you feather as you wandered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I meander the feathers. I work a spine then start putting the feathery bit on, when I need a branch I add it then come back to where I was. I love doing it now, I can't belive how hard I found them. I had stoped trying to do them and just did peacock feathers, then on a whim I tried again and it just worked. I guess something about the peacock feathers had got me comfortable enough with the process to be able to do these more traditional ones.

phx515 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Wow Ferret I love your quilt. The quilting is fab! I also enjoyed the "energy" of the compass fabrics. It has a lot of movement in it...cool! pat K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't know if it comes across in the pictures, (I know some people didn't notice in person) but it is a wholcloth. The 'fabrics' in the compass are all areas of different colour quilting. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ferret, I did notice that and was very impressed with the results. I would not have thought of doing that! What a great way to create your own fabric and you don't even have to worry about matching points! Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
