After I asked about thread compatability you were encouraging. I was conv= inced that quilting feathers in a strip pieced saching with 9 patch corners= tones would be so wrong....



You people have this terrible thing about encouraging me to do quilting mot= ifs that I know are impossible for me. These are w-a-a-y-y-y beyond my sk= ill 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 pe= rfect by any means) and I am pleased with it. They don't stand out too wel= l 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! :D

The feathers are great.

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< . In message

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!!!!!!!
