So pretty! I like the birds. They have an elegant look. The feather quilting done in trapunto is a very good idea. It will still let the applique be the focus but give depth and dimension to your quilt.

ReplyDeleteExquisite!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! keep going can't wait to see the whole quilt top
