I found the technique for some of the units to be easy, but very wasteful, so if I made this pattern again, I'd find alternate methods.
I inherited some stencils a couple of years ago. This one was too large for the block, but I just omitted the last feather on four of the swirl arms, and it fit just fine. I stitched it in a variegated rose thread on the yellow blocks, and a variegated gold thread on the dark green ones.
The border quilting is difficult to see, but there is a rose in each corner, and zig-zag leaves in the centre of each long border.
I made a pieced back for this quilt, using leftover fabrics, and managed to add 14.75 yards of fabric to my "used from stash" report for next Sunday!
Beautiful, Susan! I really like those feathers (of course ).
ReplyDeleteYay for finished UFOs!! Nice adaptation of the stencil, too. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for using up so much stash for this quilt. I love to piece my backs from leftovers and additional stash fabrics too. It makes the numbers look good! lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting too.
