Loose Change is on the longarm now. When I first made it, the quilting plan was to quilt lots of feathers in the black spaces. Then I thought about putting free motion flowers and leaves. So I played around with drawing in the feathers and flowers.
Feathers won out:
Can you see the floral backing fabric rolled up at the top of the photo? Another perfect backing and I had a whole bolt of it. Four or five years ago, an online group was doing a challenge and using this fabric. I ordered a bolt and never did the challenge but it’s a good backing for this quilt.
Making feathers is so fun!
