I finally decided what to quilt between my feathers which are quilted with perle #8...feathers!
I had some spools of Coats and Clarks hand quilting thread left over from my Pickle Dish quilt that was close in color to the feathers in the fabric so decided to use it.
I had originally tried quilting some straight lines but didn't like how they looked so ripped out those stitches and started on the feathers. I like how they look.
I'm using this stencil and a mechanical pencil for marking.
Feathers in the quilt were made with lots of leftover strings mostly cut from the sides of quilt backings.
I love feathers ; they add so much. Enjoy your stitching today.
ReplyDeleteQuilted feathers on a feather quilt...perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for the quilting. I like it with the lines in the pieced feathers. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteHand quilting... what a concept. I haven't hand quilted in a very long time. The only hand work that I like to do is hand binding the edges of my quilts. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, maybe one of these days I will get to hand quilting...how are you doing?? Hows the husband?
ReplyDeleteI love your quilting. That feather quilt stencil complements the feather fabric beautifully.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's perfect! What a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! It's a totally feathery quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilted feathers on your feather quilt, too! Since I'm planning to hand quilt somethIng I'm working on right now, I'm asking everyone I know - what is your favorite batting for handquilting! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching! The colors are perfect.
