French General Feathers

And that Sea of Colour ...

This one was always going to be fun to quilt. Another 'French General' red and beige creation by Janet S. Although I am not a fan of red for myself, the particular palette, slightly faded look and classic designs of French General fabrics are just sumptuous. The simple (but perfect) piecing - all half square triangle units - makes this quilt all the more attractive. Look at those gorgeous points!
This is the third in a series of similar quilts that Janet has made and she actually uses them as curtains - how lovely!
She has just dropped off a 'big one' which will push my frame to its limits. But once I have it loaded the feathers will be flowing again. It is so freeing!

Earlier in the week I put the finishing touches to this first ever quilt made by the lovely Pat, one of the ladies in my class at Borehamwood. I am so proud of her!

More red and beige but with a slightly different style of feathers this time.





Meanwhile, my remake of the Tree of Life is coming along nicely, although this minor mishap today was my cue to call it a day this evening!

And as promised, here a few shots of those wonderful Sew a Row quilts which we showed at Connecting Threads last week before sending them off to Project Linus.

















Happy Quilting Everyone!
