This is Linda's fourth quilt....but my favorite.....well maybe...I have to many favorites....but if this were mine I would hang it on the wall. It's so pretty!
So for quilting I wanted to enhance the trees with leaves, and wood grain. I quilted little leaves and loops around the tree blocks. Then I put a leafy feather in the side setting triangles to bring it all in. For the birds and wreaths I echoed around the outside and filled them in with Swirls....to kind of break up texture and make it stand out.
Beautiful quilt!
I used my 26 innova and quilted all of this freehand. The batting is quilter's dream cotton.
Thanks for looking.
