Global Migration Quilt

gm1

Back in June I quilted Marlene’s Global Migration quilt that she was pattern testing for Anne who had written the pattern.  Anne asked that I not blog about it until it was published in a magazine and this week it is now in Make Modern Magazine, Issue 20!  You can get a peak at the issue here and see Anne version that she beautifully quilted herself!   She also posted pictures of hers on her Instagram @plaidnuthatch

After seeing how Anne quilted hers I told Marlene we should do something different and she suggested feathers!  I was more than happy to quilt flowing feathers and they went so well with the pieced flying geese.  I used white So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Sorry for all the pictures but I really miss that view making it hard to limit the pictures!

  7. I tend to avoid flying geese, due to them turning out wonky, but I might have to find a new technique for them and make this quilt! It's a great pattern and I like the swirling feathers you quilted. Schist Lake is a perfect backdrop for your quilt pictures!
