This is going to be stunning xx
|
Kudos for spreading your wings and moving into such a beautiful art form. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
|
I think your design looks good so far. I hope you have tried the red marker before and it will come out. :-/. Just remember whole cloth quilts are quilted very densely. I am looking forward to seeing your post when you have finished quilting it.
Edit: I forgot to ask.....are you using two layers of batting to give the unquilted areas (feathers) “poof”? A wool batting on the top layer works so well to do this. |
Oh, Marion I so look forward to following your post/progress. Your "practice" pieces were gorgeous so I can't imagine anything but a beautiful outcome on this quilt.

That is going to be stunning! I would be too chicken to try it. Kudos to you my friend.

TBH ... I don't think you need idea/suggestions! You are pretty incredible with them, on your own. Another weekend's project? :) |

I agree with QuiltE! The on point crosshatch will be the perfect fill for all those feathers. Labor intensive but worth it. They make painters tape in 1/2" so you won't have to tediously mark them out. And stop them about 1/4 from the feather motifs and stitch over to your new c/h line, they will form a lovely echo around both the border and the center medallion. This is what they did in the pinterest pic you linked and you can see how much it emphasizes the overall design. Looking forward to following your progress on this.

That is going to be an awesome whole cloth quilt.

I've been using crayola kids washable markers (thanks Ube!), and they have been awesome! I hadn't thought of using two layers of batting, I'll give it a test run and see what I think - thanks for the suggestion. |
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and encouragement, I'm having lots of fun with FMQ now that I've finally figured it out!
