This is Helen’s baby quilt that has raw edge appliqué and embroidery in the borders. Love the fabrics she chose!
I want to do more free hand design this year and had admired Jenny’s free hand swirly feathers that she posted on her blog here. So I gave them a try and really like them! Thanks for the inspiration Jenny!
Helen has a chenille fabric for the backing which makes this a very cuddly baby quilt.
Such an adorable quilt... love the applique border! Your quilting really stands out on those blocks, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThought that sounded familiar ;o). Yours turned out gorgeous and they have a look of "Kathy's freehand swirly feather" !! Good job, she's going to love it!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!!! Perfect design for the quilt!!! I love the swirly feather combination with the piano key border!
ReplyDeleteThis must be the year of the feather! This is so pretty and just love the feathers you did.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt , love the appliqué and your quilting !
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty!. A real snuggle rug. Must check Jenny's piece about feathers. I can do feathers but it's the sizing them to space that feaks me out.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I better decide that is one thing to master this year!
This turned out so cute! Love your swirly feathers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteSnugly and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, what perfect quilting for such a darling baby quilt. I LOVE your swirly feathers. A "must-try" for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your feathers:) Did you freehand those? Saw them on Jenny's blog as well. Going to try them out today. Think I'll use your photo. Easier to see the quilting on the lighter fabric. Thanks!
