Back in the saddle again......


So last week we can call it a bust because Clint's family was here (we had a wonderful time) but I didn't get much done. This quilt is another Emily quilt. I put it on the frames last week and finished it last night. That will tell you how much I didn't get done last week. But I loved this one, it's a lot like her "napkin" but there was more feathering in this quilt and it was a lot bigger.


I call this the worm, but I think it's a pretty worm and it fits well with the design of the quilt.


I tried and tried to imagine how to start and end this feather and after a lot of thinking and wash out pen, this is what I came up with.


Another close up of the feather.


Feather block, this was definitely my favorite block.


More quilting and a small feather design.


Another worm, I should come up with a better name than "worm" but you get the idea. Any suggestions for something better?


I played with this picture, it's the back of the quilt, but I used the "Vintage" special effect so that you could see the quilting. I think I like it!
