Quiltingboard Forums - Lattice quilted with calla lillies and "cherub wings"

Sunshine666 made this beautiful lattice quilt for her daughters bridal shower which is this weekend. Her daughter's wedding flower is Calla Lilly so she got a gorgeous Calla Lilly fabric to use in the backing from another board member. I used the lillies in the fabric as a template to quilt a field of calla lillies in the borders. I had to improvise a light box out of a clear tote and it worked really well!

Then I quilted calla lilly blooms in the small squares on point and got them to poof by Mctavishing all around them. I designed a feathered wing motif I call Cherub wings for the white cross sections between the lattice work. Then to get the lattice work to pop I SID around all the lattice pieces.

Charismah has converted me to Hobbs Polydown batting, I love it!

I have a lot of pics to load so please be patient. As always I look forward to your comments. :-)

Here is the improvised light box
