| Owl quilting |
It's finally done! I'm really pleased with the machine quilting. I traced the owls (from a Hari Walner pattern) onto tissue paper, pinned the tissue to the border and free motion quilted. Then I attached the border to the quilt. I lot of work, but worth it for the result.
Now time to get ready to teach Charm Quilts to the Patchers at the Lakeshore in Muskegon, MI. Also doing a Detroit in the 1930s lecture. I'll be there next Monday.
I love, love, love this quilt! And now that I've seen the owl quilting, I love it even more!
ReplyDeleteYou are a Superquilter, Beth!
That is one beautiful quilt, Beth. A lot to look at, busy, yet restful to the eye. Its amazing to me how you did that. Congratulations on a spectacular finish!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt--it is just fabulous! Did you use a pattern or is it your own design?
ReplyDeleteIt's my own variation on a traditional block, Wild Goose Chase. I started with the block in the lower left corner and thought the flying geese were too small. I was too lazy to make an extra block, so just left it in. One of these days I'll write up the pattern.
DeleteGreat looking quilt!! love the owls and the way the stars go into the border! great quilting!!

It's beautiful! Love the whimsy quilting too!!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. Flying and geese and stars combine my two favorite blocks for a scrap quilt. Love the green, too!
ReplyDeletelove it!...and the owls are great
ReplyDeleteI made the quilt for Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen and he takes in injured owls.
DeleteThis quilt really has a lot of movement with the lights in the geese units. Such a variety of greens--really livens up the color aspect. Who doesn't love an owl???
