Quilt Reveal!!

It’s quilted!! Happy Dancing everywhere!  I was going to post this earlier, but I wanted to wait for the right light to get some nice photos.  This is the largest quilt I’ve quilted so far.  It’s a large queen.  I am very pleased with the outcome.  Maybe because there are feathers everywhere!!  My client wanted them before I even suggested them.  Honest.

 I think the freehand meandering feather is one of my all time favorite allover patterns.

A swirl with a little feather tail in the red border.

I really love the back of this quilt!! It’s my favorite because of all the texture.  It actually made me catch my breath when I first saw the back.

I was a little nervous with a solid muslin back because it would show all my little mistakes, but wow, does it show off the quilting!!  This could almost be a reversible quilt!

The batting is Hobbs wool, which I love too.  I did suggest it to my client.  She wanted a nice batting as this will be a bed quilt.  Melissa, my client did a beautiful job on the piecing.

I have a confession, I thought I wasn’t doing a good job while I was quilting this.  I don’t know what was wrong with me??  Just doubting myself.  The funny thing is I hardly picked any stitches out of this.  That’s a first!   Now, I stand back in amazement.  When I see this quilt, off the frame and all quilted, it reinspires me.  It reminds me to take this journey one day at a time and to enjoy it.

I’d like to wish all the dads out there a
