I'm having to work hard at the moment to come up with allover quilting designs that aren't open feathers. Yet another reason a longarm would be nice - pantographs! There are a lot I like, but am not up to quilting them totally freehand! Anyway, I think I'm at risk of totally overusing the open feather designs, so I spent ages dithering over a design for this. I ended up using this double-loop, which worked well - but I think I'd've preferred the open feathers!
It looks just fine and appropriate. Some busy fabrics (ok, most of them) are not suited for feathers. I try to reserve feathers for when they will show (some reward for the effort).

ReplyDeleteI got a long arm this weekend, and pantographs are hard. I need several more big practice sessions I think.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on these sweet little owls is adorable. Well done.
Emma, Kayscha is going to love this. I really like the double swirls on it as something different. You do feathers better than anyone I know, but it is nice to have other options for busier prints.
