Tired of seeing Dad’s quilt yet? I might be . . ask me this time on Tuesday! It’s off the longarm, threads are trimmed.
The binding is on; all that’s left to be done is get the hand work done and wash and dry it before I leave on Wednesday.
I went with green binding because I thought I was getting too much red in there. There are more feathers on this quilt than there are in that box in my downstairs garage! 🙂
Meandering is not my favorite type fill but anything too terribly dense, like McTavishing, would have made the quilt a bit stiff so I just did meandering around the background in the blocks.
But I stuck feathers in every nook and cranny I could find! Notice the little tiny feathers in the outer sashing. Aren’t they cute?
I hope to get a better picture of the backing because the quilting shows up really nice on the back side.
It’s been a long time in getting to this point but I hope Dad loves it!

I am a big fan of this quilt. I love all the feathers too. I haven’t tried to do feathers freehand. I have only used a template and handquilted. I loved it but it was so time consuming. Fab!
