I've been doodling a long time to get these just right. This is step two, practicing on a quilt sandwich. I think I might be ready for the real thing. But today, I'm in love with this little piece.
I bought a spool of Aurifil thread a while back, just to see what all the hype was about. Well, it lived up to the hype. This thread is smooooth. It also has a very nice sheen, which doesn't come across real well in these pictures. I might have forgotten to mention, but I also used Aurifil to quilt this quilt, which was done on a longarm. I think I'm a convert.
Here's an overall shot of the free-form feathers. There were a couple of curves that got me, but overall, I can live with them! I'm linking up today with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced!

I hope mine get to this point someday ....great job
Holy cow! That is GORGEOUS! Did you do that on a long-arm or your home machine? Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
I'm not so good in FMQ :(
This is fantastic! Gratulations!
Did you practice a lot?
Nice, those look beautiful! Clearly I need to get some Aurifil. Everyone raves about it. Getting my FMQ to look as nice as yours will be another issue ;-)
That is beautiful stitching! As I have been away from home for a week or so I shall be playing "catch up" for the next few days... hope my feathers will look as good as yours ... eventually!
That looks incredible!! I love the feather pattern, so pretty! Oh I might need to try that :)
Wow your feathers look amazing. I have done them in a border but never an all over pattern. Love the look and I too love Aurifil.
nice job with your feathers - they look great!
nicely done!
oh my stars!!! you are so amazing :)
Nice job on your feathers. I am a bit feather challenged. Maybe someday.......
This quilting looks fantastic! I just bought some Aurifil for the same reasons as you. I plan on using it tomorrow to FMQ a doll quilt I just finished piecing.
