Strings of a feather flock together quilt
 

I made a few feather blocks using a free pattern designed by Anna Maria Horner. While I liked the feathers, I did not want to make an entire quilt from them. I combined them with my love of string blocks and ended up with this quilt. I don't normally name my quilts, but this name came to me and I think it fits.

nicely done

I like that! Great use of your feathers and stripes!

I really like how you designed that. Very Cool!

Very neat. BrendaK

Neat top! The feathers are fun, and great string blocks!!

Very pretty.

That is a great idea your colours are wonderful!

Great design...

Great combination of quilting patterns. Perfect colors for the feather design, too.

You did well with those blocks! The combination looks great.

I love the new pattern. The look is so much more interesting than either by themselves. Great job at pattern designing.

That’s an interesting way to put the blocks together. I have the pattern but haven’t done anything with it yet.

Great quilt! I've seen that feather pattern too & it intrigued me. You did a great job. Nice quilt.

Great use of a combination of techniques. Post again after you quilt it, please.:thumbup:

Wow, this is neat! I love seeing how creative people on here are! It really looks cozy already.

I like that a lot. Great solution/design!

Great idea, the feathers add a nice pop.

What an excellent way to adapt the pattern. I love the scant use of actual feather blocks. The way you placed them with the string blocks is perfect. What a great quilt!

Great idea. I really like that.

Great idea! You did an awesome job combining the two blocks!

Very unusual and so very pretty. I love the name of your quilt.

Beautiful quilt! I think the string blocks set off the feathers nicely.

Good job!!

What a unique quilt!

You've made a very handsome quilt. I think adding the feathers to the strings was a touch of genius.

I like the name you gave your quilt. The string blocks compliment your feather blocks well. Win-win!

Beautiful and very creative design.....don't you just love it when it all comes together like this? One of kind...

Very pretty! I never would have thought of that - you are so creative.
