What is wrong with you people??? VBG

After I asked about thread compatability you were encouraging. I was convinced that quilting feathers in a strip pieced saching with 9 patch cornerstones would be so wrong....

You people have this terrible thing about encouraging me to do quilting motifs that I know are impossible for me. These are w-a-a-y-y-y beyond my skill and patience levels. But you do it any way! Then I have to try it. I don't know if I am trying to prove you wrong or I have to try it to not disappoint you or what. But it worked. The feathers look great (not perfect by any means) and I am pleased with it. They don't stand out too well and that's what I wanted, but you can catch a glimpse of this afternoon's quilting-

We're just a bunch of filthy rotten eneblers, is all!

The feathers are great.

It was Kate T a few days ago that moaned her feathers looked like 'worts on
a toothpick'. LOL.
WHoooHoohoo. That just tickles me to tears. Polly

Yay, Leslie! clapping madly You're doing great! Keep up the good work
-- it's going to be even more gorgeous than it was pre-quilting.

Yes, well ... ...

We do what is necessary!

I didn't actually reply, because I couldn't quite see how you wanted to
'fit' the feathers in (I was a bit rushed yesterday). I would have been
confident that you could do it. Today, actually seeing how you fitted
them in, and how they turned out, I can see that it is just the right
thing to have done. And I do love those sashings with the nine-patches.
I have never done that. I must try to fit it in sometime.

Hope the rest goes as well as the start. You really are good at
free-motion, you know g

Just loved this, Leslie. The colours are so fresh and the quilting is
just doody. All those sharp points. VERY impressive.

Wow!

WTG Leslie! That's going to be gorgeous. Bwa-ha-ha-ha. Another feather
addict! (Feathers would make a fabulous background filler for those
lovely pieced flowers...)

Leslie, you done really, really good. Seriously -- beautiful. I'm
impressed with the blocks themselves and your quilting is amazing.
You're good 'push' material.

OOOOOOOOH! I love it! They look more like mirror images of waves. And
I just love the batiks. Can't wait to see the finished quilt!! Great
Job, Leslie!!!!!!!
