I realized after starting to quilt this afternoon that this beautiful backing was going to SHOW every flaw and that maybe I should have saved it for something safe like a pantograph. I decided I wasn’t going to post photos of the back if it looked bad.
Not only does it look halfway decent but the tension was excellent and even though I used a variegated thread…no top thread dots on the back. You can enlarge both photos to see the quilting up close. Vicki, maybe I should quilt more often without any sleep!
Looks great! I love those Wonky feathers.
I think it looks awesome!
Wow! It certainly gets an A+ from me! Beautiful, beautiful feathers!
Your wonky feathers look GREAT! I think you should send a picture to Dawn..she would LOVE it! I am still slogging away on my peacock feathers…just too busy with other stuff to get it all done. This next week will be quieter around her..so I will DIVE IN!

Your wonky feathers are working out better and better. I love the purple. How did you ever manage to stay awake and productive for so long?
You ROCK!
Nice quilts! I have given up the machine quilting myself, but you do a nice job!
WOW – that has such a wonderful flow to it and your feathers are perfect! Also love the dragonfly quilt – It’s what I call a ‘happy quilt’ – some quilts just make you feel happy when you look at them and that is one of them!
