I had to think about how to quilt this quilt for a bit. Sometimes these types of quilts are a challenge for me anyway. I had to think about why?

During the process I had to ask myself: "Do I focus on the eagle?" or "Do I just focus on the element of the blocks?"

Also I think at this stage in the game I think I have recognized many things about my "style" of quilting, right?
I take the pieced design into mind and try to find lines that I can follow. Or I look at the fabric and see if I can pull off any designs in the fabric. Again in this case I did both.

For the border I simply outlined the Eagle heads so they would get some dimension...in the brown areas I loosely added texture..wavy lines, wing type designs...anything to fill them in..no rhyme or reason.
The blocks I did the same design in each block which is the feathery leaf design...it reminded me of an eagle feather so I chose that for sashing as well.

I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. I used Hobbs polydown batting.

Thanks for looking!

I too find that part of the process difficult... What to focus on in the quilting or how to enhance the piecing. Sometimes it takes a while before you get the "that's it!" moment. You obviously made the right decisions with this one.

Awesome!

Love eagles and love your quilting choices. Great combination:)

Wow that's cool....I think its one of the coolest kalidescopes I have seen

Very nice, Charismah! I think the curves really compliment the shape of the eagles' heads nicely!

And then you leave us the challenge of what to focus on! ... so many things, so many things! :thumbup:

Beautiful work !!!!!!!Michele

That is beautiful. I love what you did with it.

WOW! You did a fantastic job, beautiful

Love the quilt and the quilting.

Yes.... you did find the best way with this quilt.... but I know just what you mean. I also step back and look at a quilt before I quilt it, to figure out.... am I enhancing the pattern, the piecing, the fabric... or what? But you did right by this quilt... it looks great.
