Thank you everyone for you kind words and comments on the sneak peeks I have been posting of this quilt.
Karen McTavish said in a class "Do the hardest thing you can, you won't be disappointed in the results". She was right! I did not piece this quilt. My friend Meg took this baby on and did a darn good job. I loved this quilt from the moment I laid eyes on it in a photo and seeing it in person was a special treat. I wanted to enhance Megs peicing and make the quilt even more beautiful then it already was with my quilting. I wanted to try and keep the theme of the CW era so I went with elaborate Victorian style feathers (the CW was also the Victorian era!), loads of SID, ruler work cross hatching and a few stencils that kind of reminded me of CW era decorative arts. There is more SID than I have ever done before. Every one of those HST in the border was SID. I got very good at using a ruler with this one! :lol: So without any further babbling on my part... I have 9 pictures to load. I am really looking forward to all of your comments. Thanks! As much of the quilt as I could get in one shot [ATTACH=CONFIG]229098[/ATTACH] Another angle, trying to get texture, wasn't too successful [ATTACH=CONFIG]229099[/ATTACH] The center star. I did a feather wreath ruler work, SID and feathers in the largest points [ATTACH=CONFIG]229100[/ATTACH] closer yet of the center star [ATTACH=CONFIG]229101[/ATTACH] Taken inside with flash, colors are truer in the outside shots. In this shot you can see the shells I quilted around the star [ATTACH=CONFIG]229104[/ATTACH] close up of some feathers in the corner of a block [ATTACH=CONFIG]229108[/ATTACH] another close up, you can still see my chalk mark for the center stem of the feather, which is all the marking I do for feathers [ATTACH=CONFIG]229109[/ATTACH] close up of feathers in the large center star points [ATTACH=CONFIG]229116[/ATTACH] |

I've looked at this kit so many times. But don't think I can do it justice.
You both did a fantastic job.:) |

beautiful piecing and quilting.

STUNNING!!! STUNNING!! This is GORGEOUS! I love all the feather work...ruler work...and all the details. I know how you must feel to be finished...but it is also sad in a way to be done....It is a masterpiece. I hope Meg is keeping it.
