Oh Beautiful Braid Quilt

April 15, 2011

I did it!!  It's done!  My first quilt with a curling feather border!!  I love it and want to keep it!!  I may shed a tear when I hand it over to my client.
I'm just giving you a peek.  You'll have to wait until Monday to see the whole quilt.  Trust me it'll be worth the wait!  :-)

    I love the look of braided quilts. I saw an antique one and would love to make it someday. The quilting really looks beautiful on that piece.

    Beautiful! You do such good work! I have to pack up my Bee (longarm) for the move and it's killing me. I've put it off until the last minute. I just can't bear the thought of her being in storage.

    I love it too Linda. Very very lovely indeed. I can't blame you for wanting to keep it, guess you'll just have to do one for yourself sometime. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful quilting with us.

    Looks awesome!!! I'm still working on drawing out that curling Amish feather - haven't even thought about putting it on fabric yet. :) It's so great to see you putting it on a quilt already! Good for you - keep up the great work!
