Feather Swirl
 

It's been so long since I've posted a photo here! :) I thought I'd share a new quilt design I just learned. The owner of this quilt asked me to try the feather swirl design from Green Fairy Quilts - this is how mine turned out! It's not identical but I'm really happy with it. I'm going to have to use this again! I think this would make such a good tiny filler design too. :)

Beautiful work!

Beautiful quilting, and I love her quilt!! Very pretty!

Quilting looks beautiful and from what I can see - the quilt looks beautiful also.

That is amazing! Beautiful!

Nice and beautiful quilt ......

Beautiful quilt and quilting!

You do beautiful work, I can only dream about it at this point. Everytime I practice I tell myself- better have a professional do it.!

Beautiful!

Beautiful quilt and quilting! I have tried to get this pattern down with an even flow and have yet to succeed. You did a great job!!!

very pretty quilting, love those colors too

that's SUPER!

Thank you! I had to draw it more than a few times before it made sense! Even after that I had to stop at first to plan where I was going to go next until I got into a groove. The trick is traveling. I used the swirls and echoing the feathers as my form of "travel". I think of the feather swirl itself as sort of, the main attraction...then I just swirl and echo around it until I fill up the space!

Did that sound super duper cheesy enough? LOL

That is beautiful quilting. Feathers and swirls.. does it get any better!

love the quilting..
Is it a pantograph or ???

Oh my...I agree! It is a beautiful eye-catching pattern.

Beautiful quilt and quilting.

Beautiful quilt and lovely quilting design. Thanks for posting.

So pretty!

Thank you Diane! No, this is not a panto it is free hand! :) I rarely use pantographs as I just really enjoy the process of coming up with designs. :)

For this one in particular, my customer had see the "feather swirl" tutorial over at Green Fairy Quilts and asked me to replicate the look. My isn't exactly like Judi's, but I sort of came up with my own version. :)

really nice job

Stunning work!

Beautiful work!!!

Beautiful...what is the name of the quilt?

Your quilting is pretty and so is that quilt.

Just gorgeous!!! I have been practicing my feathers. Hope they will look "something" like yours. Thanks for sharing.

What a pretty quilt, and quilting. I went to your web site and saw more examples from this quilt. All your work is really lovely.

Glad to see you on the QB again. This is a very nice pattern. I like it and works great as a block filler or overall pattern look. GFQ rocks!
peace

awesome quilting-wonderful quilt

Simply beautiful:)

Thank you!! :) That truly means a lot to me! :)

Thank you! It's nice to BE on QB again! I've just been so busy lately I haven't been able to come visit and see what everyone is up to. I love this for an overall too - and I agree, it will make a really cool filler!

Thank you!! :)

I like it. Iv recently dood a feather swirl. Different from yours. It was fun to do.

Beautiful and magical!!!!!

thanks I guess I will have to practice.
Very creative

Thank you! I drew it out many times before putting it on this customers quilt. She requested it so it kind of forced me to learn it! :) But I'm glad I did because I will use it again. I think it was the traveling that was tricky at first. When you "travel" to make your next feather swirl, you want to echo back around the feather and add small swirls in the spaces that aren't easily filled by the larger feather swirls. Maybe I'll do a YouTube video on this one? LOL

I love the quilting and the quilt!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely quilting!!

freehand designs like that are as individual as handwriting. Everyone's will look slightly different. Yours looks great.

Greenfairy did post a video of her doing it. It is on her blog.
