chickenscratch Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 It's so pretty. Is it for a customer? If not do you want to sell it. I love the colors and the quilting, especially the feathers. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TishMarshall Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ramona, you did a wonderful job. I think we over critique ourselves way too much sometimes. Thanks for sharing. Tish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I agree with Tish....we are our own worst enemies when it comes to how quilting looks....I personally loved the quilt and think you did a beautiful job with the design. That's where I seem to fail....I never know what to put into a design so wind up just doing something so simple and then afterwards go WOW...I should have put a feather in there. Because I too have trouble with feathers I stay away from them....my New Year's resolution for 2008 will be to do better in that department, so I would expect all my quilts to be loaded with feathers.

Bekah Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Oh LInda that quilt is quite lovely and I think your feathers are just fine. I wish mine were even a quarter as good as yours. thank you for posting your pictures. It has been a delight and joy to watch you just getting better and better with each quilt. You are in inspiration to me and I bet others out there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Linda, I am no expert on feathers but thought you did a great job. I liked the curly q thingy on the end of the feathers. Thanks for sharing, Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryll Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Linda, A great job. I love how neat you did the Terry Twist blocks too. I know your customer will be thrilled. I loved the curlies on your feathers. Cheryll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thank you all for the kinda words. and encouragement. This was a customer quilt, Sally, from the local community class. It is called Arkansas Crossroads. I did a baby-size one in blue/purple batiks but I called mine Honolulu Highway. I love the gold background fabric that Sally chose. It is such a warm looking quilt. I felt like I had to do something special in those big gold X's. I kept hearing my 2006 Innovations teacher (Sue Patten, I think) saying "Hit the mark" so I tried to take those feathers almost to the edge of the gold. The curls on the ends of the feathers are just there to help make the feathers continuous. I did not want to SID this big guy. For the 16-patch, I found a 9-inch stencil that hit all the all the intersections (continuous) and I just enlarged it to 18" to cover the 16-block. I used Signature cotton Mustard thread.

shadows4 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I really love this! Your feathers in the x's are great: the curlies really add to them also. You should be really proud of this quilt, Linda. You did a wonderful job on it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltaholi_518 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Very nice! And I like how you connected them with the little curlies. I am adding that to my inspiration folder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsigler Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think your feathers are wonderful. They have personality, like feathers made by a human being, not a computer. I like that look better than the too perfect computerized look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
