I did Suzanne Earley's meandering magic ferns in the body of the quilt. And then did different fills in the embroidered blocks. Suzanne's inspiration has made my quilting work easy many times. Thanks, Suzanne.
She always says she likes my feathers, but her quilts really don't lend themselves to feathered treatments. But on this one, I used a stylized feather based on Nicole Webb's to do the sashing. Sort of looks like butterflies, don't you think?
Goes with the frog theme and gives her a taste of feathers. I hope she likes it.
Tomorrow all day I am teaching a machine applique class at the LQS. After that I'll work on my "birthstone" postcards for my next swap. By the weekend, I should be starting Mary's quilt that mother made.

ReplyDeleteVery nice border, does look like butterfly wings. I love the contrast of your elegant quilting with the cute comic critters. A very unique quilt.
ReplyDeleteAnother great job Deb. I love the different treatments in the embroidered blocks. One looks like a combination of McTavishing and the 'Bananas' technique shown in the new Pajama Quilter DVD.
