Featherquilt - finished -

Half a year ago I started this quilt with remnants of little-flower fabrics in blue. I bought the backing, everything else was in my stashes. The broad border is also the backing. It will be good as a throw over a single bed in an old house which is to be renovated in future...
I made an Irish chain pattern and in some of the white patches I stitched fantasy feathers.

To baste it I had to go to the basement on the ping-pong table

And yes, this cupboard in the rear was painted by DH

50 years ago

Then the big work started - the quilting. This quilt  measures 250 x 150 cm
and it was not easy on my household machine
With the help of a special quilting foot the machine could transport
the masses of material
(now I dont know why the writing is in small letters here, I cant get it bigger)

The bulk of material

DH went onto the ladder

and tried to hold it

Here is the whole piece.

Oh, I am glad it is off my table.

Two feathers and there are many more filling the white spaces.

Have also a look at Jude Hill's Feather Project

I have my ideas from her - and  sent her two.

The last photo is a page of an altered book which I am making -

there are not yet many pages
