Simply Stunning, Beautiful it is....

This is just spectacular! And thank you for sharing all your info!

The feathers look like trapunto quilting - is there extra stuffing under them, or did you use a special batt to get them so puffy?

The first quilts I made were wholecloth crib blankets, about 20 years ago. They were more like comforters than quilts - certainly nothing as elegant as what you've made here. I've been looking at the stamped wholecloth kits at Heirloom Quilting - do you think that might be a good beginning project?

Oh, its beautiful! You do wonderful work!

You never disappoint my dear! What fabulous work.

Elizabeth,
I used a low loft poly batting for that quilt - the Hobbs Poly Down Dark. No extra stuffing - but the background is quilted quite heavily and so you have the contrast.
The preprinted wholecloth are a wonderful beginning project. You can focus on your quilting technique and you don't have to care for the design or the marking! Just give it a try!

Andrea, I can't think of any words to add that haven't already been said here, but I agree with all of them. Seeing your quilting is really an inspiration to everyone .

Do I like it??????????
It is absolutely fabulous. Made my jaw drop with a big "Ohhhhhh".

Beautiful work! So much time invested. This is a treasure. I'd want to display it as well.

WOW WOW WOW Awesome quilt.....where do you get the printed wholecloth at???? I would love to try this and after you finished that MAYBE your stitching would be LOTS better from the time you start till the finish...thanks for sharing

Wow! This quilt is absolutely immaculate!
It's so great to see talent and patience like this. I bet you are so proud every time you look at it. AMAZING!
