Hooked Feathers


This is Melba's Sampler quilt and my first attempt at Hooked Feathers in the outer border. I am use to just backtracking on the feathers so I had to practice drawing this one out until I got the right rhythm going.  It was fun to stitch so I think once I get my purple Hopscotch quilt pieced I'll try it as an all over meander.

    The quilting looks great-I think you'll love the hooked feather as an all-over.

    Hooked feathers look good, and your loops on the inner border are neat too.

    Hmm. . . Do you think hooked feathers would be easier for a beginner to try then the traditional back-tracked ones? (I'm almost ready to venture into feather land.)

    The sashing loops look fabulous, too.
