....for this Fall's entry, I have to herald the great change that has taken place this year, namely my introduction into more free-motion machine-quilting.
Rather than repeat my earlier blog post, I will link you to the bulk of the story and photos of this quilt.
It was alot of fun, and yet, quite challenging, coming up with different quilting designs for the different blocks.
I left the quilt at the wedding reception for my niece, as I had to leave before getting to toast the couple and watch them open gifts. I hope that they like the quilt.
I also want to note this year's finish of the over 20-year-long project of making my Feathered Star quilt ! It's hand-quilted.
It's finished!!!! YAY! Incredible!
ReplyDeleteLove the skills you have developed in machine quilting. You are good at whatever quilting technique you put your mind to!
I still have hope that someday I will be able to machine quilt too :)
Looks like lots of great FM quilting--I'm hoping to expand my circle of patterns too. The feathered star is gorgeous. Congrats on these great finishes! Thanks for sharing your quilt's story :)

ReplyDeletethe first quilt is perfect for autumn, it reminds me of falling leaves...and the second quilt, the hand quilting, WOW! that is amazing!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful quilt! How cool that you put your FMQA skills to such good use! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteUm, wow, that feathered star is stunning, I love to hand quilt but hate that is is so time consuming. For me it is so cathartic.
