Fabulous Finish

At least that is how I feel about this finish.  It is fabulous and I love it!

The quilting on this is some of my best ever.  The rule that I set was to use only floral motifs.  The exceptions I allowed myself were the corner setting triangles and the border.  Oh yes and feathery flower motifs that I still think are close enough to the rule. Of course, it is my rule and I can break it as I see fit.  Ha ha.
 But let's step back a couple of days.  I had sewn the binding to the front and left it draped on a recliner.  I walked by and said "Wow, I did that!" when I saw the quilting on the back in the solid area.

Here are some close-ups from the front that I took while it was hanging.

And last, here is a photo of how I did the Sunshine Feather Flower.

I took an old computer disk and used it as a template.  The pink pencil is a chalk type pencil that I used to center the disk AND to mark the outline that acted as the flower spine that is sewn as you create the feather. (You do not sew it first.)

And if you are wondering, I sewed the binding to the back by hand.  It gave me some time to sit and watch a movie (and a few sitcoms) on Prime while I was doing it. The trick is to watch something that doesn't require full attention -so no action movies!

That quilt will get its spa bath (in the washing machine) later. I am sure it will look even better then.

Until Next Time,
