Wheels, 64" x 64.5"



Vintage fabrics from friend's 50+ year stash. Background from Goodwill.
Inspiration from PASSIONATE PATCHWORK, by Kaffe Fassett. He used vintage blocks he bought in Houston.
I saw a woman do free-hand, free-motion feathers, ten years ago, in Paducah. I couldn't believe it. At least I knew it was possible. Another 10 years, and I may have it.

  1. Freehand or not, you are amazing at machine quilting. The quilt looks fabulous!

  2. Your feathers look great! This quilt is so beautiful to begin with. Now it's a two sided wonder.

  3. I remember how hard you worked to learn this amazing skill. I guess it proves that practice makes perfect. (Of course it helps that you are a Virgo with the drive to "create order out of chaos".)

  4. What an original background. I would have never thought of that. This is one knock out quilt. I am amazed with the quilting.
