GrannyW5 wedding quilt quilted by feline fanatic

GrannyW5 entrusted her wedding quilt for her son to me. I sure hope I did it justice. GrannyW5 will have to chime in with the pattern name as I don't remember it. But it consists of curn dash blocks alternated with 54-40 or Fight star block variation. The result is a great interlocking circular illusion in the white fabric much like is achieved in so many other quilts that use the 54-40 or Fight star (like Tennesse Waltz, Bonnie Hunters Celtic Solstice and Emma's wedding quilt). GrannyW5 said she liked feathers which is great because I like doing feathers! I did feathers in the "circle" parts rotating the direction of the feathers to emphasize the circles. I used a stencil in the churn dash blocks called Hearts and flowers (what is a wedding without hearts and flowers? ;) ) then I did curved cross hatch in the black squares and a rams horn swirl in the triangles coming off the square.

Glide thread in white was used and Hobbs polydown batting.

Here is the quilt before quilting
