An almost finish..




It's been quiet on this blog lately. That's because it has been anything but quiet here. I've been working like a madwoman trying to get this quilt finished.
I think I went a little crazy with all the feathers.
All of the small stars are done with continuous curves, with a loop up the center of each star point. The center star has continuous curves in all the diamond shapes.
 
 I did a couple of different style feather motifs in the borders.

 
And here's a view of the back.



 
It needs binding, and, since it is going into the quilt show, it also needs a label and an hanging sleeve.
Now that this is off the machine, I've loaded on Gail's Mystery Quilt. Here's a sneak peak.
Two passes are done on it. I think there are 7 or 8 left to go. So, it's back to work for me.

I love reading all your comments, and am grateful for each one. I try very hard to answer them all, but lately I haven’t quite been able to answer all of them.
