Hello everyone. I did the Pioneer BOM quilt here on the Board last year and finally got it finished and quilted in time for my Dad's birthday! I 'borrowed' Marcia's idea of framing each block in one of three fabrics, green, navy and red. Thanks Marcia! :-D I did SITD around the frames and sashing and took a path through each individual block as well. Then I did the Hooked on Feathers FMQ technique in the outer borders from Sally Terry's book of the same name. Dad was thrilled with it - he finally appreciates the work that goes into quilting, after a little 'training' from me! He USED to be of the 'what's the point of cutting up fabric only to sew it back together' school of thought, but now I've set him straight and he loves his quilt! :-D

Just beautiful. And great picture of your Dad all wrapped up in it!

Aaaaawwwww!! Precious.

You did an amazing job on the quilt and a priceless job "winning" your Dad over to quilting. :-)

Thanks girls! I've had a request for a close up of the feather FMQ so here tis! :wink:

That is beautiful. Hope I get that good. Still working on my first quilted blanket that I put on the frame in Jan. And it is just squares and straight lines.But I don't work on it every day. I have been making quilt tops to tie. I'm so glad your dad likes it.My dad is begining to understand more about quilting, as his sister does it all the time in GA.

Wow, Love this, great colour choices, no wonder your Dad is happy, Well done!
