Your quilt is beautiful. I am not a very good quilter compared to you; however, I am getting better. I decided I just wanted to make quilts for fun, not for shows. Some of the pressure is gone now. Quilting better.

I love this quilt and think you did a great job! I really like the 'puffiness' of this one. You get kudos from me!! I don't think I would ever take on a project from someone else - I'd just be too nervous to do that and I have to give you credit for your creativity. This is truly a very pretty quilt!

You said to be nice--right? WOW!!! I think you did a super job of setting the blocks and can't find a thing wrong. If you want to try feathers, can you get some thin paper like tissue and draw the feathers on that, then pin it on your top and quilt it? Or if you can make a template that will have the outline of the feathers, you could mark that on your top with a removable marker and add the feather lines from that? Not sure how clear that is, but best I can do so early in the morning.

I think the areas you did quilt look fine, but what stands out to me are the non-quilted areas. I know that not quilting some areas makes them stand out, but I think some of the blocks look like you weren't quite finished. Just like with feathers ( which I'm sure you will get more comfortable with, but I think you are too critical of your work, the quilting is fine.), you'll get a better feel for this as you quilt more. Good luck!

Ditto for me. I love it and honestly don't see any thing to be worried about. So we can't do feathers , Me either btw, we'll learn .
