Otherwise here are some photos of the latest quilt of the longarm showing the design ideas and progress. This was quilted off and on over three days and is reasonably heavily quilted. The design and idea is based heavily on a quilt from Angela Waters whose work I really admire. It is the feathers that I first fell in love with and then the contrasting straight lines around the feathers.

Part of the procedure was to sketch with chalk the feathers and spines and then quilt them and then the straight lines to make the feathers stand out. I then moved onto the colored sections and I ended up using 12 different threads on the colored section the threads were mostly from Superior threads and in a range of thread weights as well as one or two variegated from Signature threads.
The last photo to show you is the photo of the finished quilt before I put the binding on.
Thanks for dropping by.
What a beautiful quilt and the quilting you have done is beautiful! I love purple and blue myself as you know!
