It never ceases to amaze me how much the quilting adds to a quilt, well done.

So pretty, I love both Irish Chain and red/white combos. Your quilting is beautiful.

Another idea for your border --- stitch in the ditch of the border seam and leave other portion unquilted since there is only going to be 2 inches or less once you sew your binding on - the flow of the quilting will follow thru to the border in that none of the quilting was done in the red.

Thank you. That might just be what the doctor ordered. I put that border on just to frame the quilt. I think that will solve my problem. I won't have to hunt and scratch my head to find something small to fit in. thank you

That quilt is an inspiration. I too have to get to grips with feathers. Did a class with Philippa Naylor when she came to our Jersey 'Caesarea Quilt Club' so was able to get some first hand knowledge and experience actually getting the fabric in the machine and trying it for myself. Had fun and enjoy it but I find everytime I go back to do the quilting I have to practice a fair bit - I am obviously not doing it frequently enough for it to come out as I want it every time.

The Double Irish chain is a really good design to help practice quilting on. Thanks for sharing.
