Every month, I try to quilt 2-3 of the charity quilts our guild has. I don't usually post about them, because they are generally very simple. Sometimes I make a design, but I often just stipple to get them done. This quilt came in and it was a GORGEOUS top. I thought it needed more time than just a quick large stipple.
I've been doing a lot of feather doodling lately, and decided to put some feathers on the quilt. I still need a lot of work on these, but they are much better than my last attempt 1-2 years ago.
Mostly because my travel stitching is better. Traveling directly over the lines makes a HUGE difference.
This thread is much too thick for good feather work, Connecting Threads Essential. The build up is too severe. But I still think it looks alright.
I forgot to take pictures of one of the triangle sections. Oops.

| Two of the triangle sections I filled straight up and down. |

| Two I filled with kind of a curve, I like the curve better. |

| I still am not good with the 'inside' curves. This one is kind of awkward. |
