Portals Progress
A while back I posted a thread about a quilt not speaking to me. (http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...e-t227181.html ) I had a sample of the quilt made up using batiks so I could test out the pattern and the quilting pattern before I did the big one (tis a gift for best friend).
I spoke with several people on that thread, and even spoke with FelineFanatic (hope I got that right) in pm's about what to quilt on it.
Well it finally spoke to me. I incorporated some of feline's ideas, and some of my own. It is still in progress, but thought I would share some of the work with you all.
I opted for piano keys on the small borders, a feather design (getting much better at those) on big border, then I did a cathedral window curved crosshatching on the center of the big border, and a V-like shape of curved crosshatching on the corner. Yes I know the corner shapes are off
forgot to measure when I mitered, will fix it when I trim up and border it, will just make it curved corners
The Center top (i know it is hard to see, even harder to photograph)

Close up of some of the circles:

Close up of the corner:

And a shot of the whole top on the frame
