    I absolutely love this feather fill! You travel along the border and the feathers fill themselves in - brilliant!

    I LOVE this feather/daisy style fill. It's easy enough for a beginner with a few quilts behind them. I used it on a twin quilt with two large flower and butterfly prints separated by large squares and rectangles of grunge. It showed up wonderful on the grunge and even somewhat in the medium to light prints. And it worked up fast. During her final days my mother was able to enjoy seeing these fabrics she had had in her stash for several years. I will use this many times in the future. Thank you.

    You have just hooked me on quilting by using the freehand style. I've been terrified of trying, but you make it look so easy ... just plan ahead and know in your mind what you want it to look like, then take it there. I love the open spaces that will keep the quilt fluffy instead of hard and flat or no quilting that will allow the batting to pull apart and slide together in bunches when washing and drying it. I think I will have to 'map-it-out' on paper and set it beside my sewing machine. Maybe in 20 years (when I'll be hitting my 90s) I won't have to draw it out first. Your quilting is beautiful ... will have to catch some more of your tutorials ... this one is the first for me.

I’m thrilled that you’re going to try things like this, and don’t worry if they don’t look at it first. It’s all about sticking to it! I have complete faith in you :). The more you’re willing to just give it a try, the better you’re going to get. Thank you so much for such an amazing post. You really made my day!

    • @thethreadworksfactory4781
      @thethreadworksfactory4781  6 років тому +1

      You can fill however you like, but you are very right as to why I showed doing that moving on this video. I like the look of them coming from all sorts of directions, and not all piled facing the same way, looking the same way. Both ways look nice, but I really prefer to have them heading different ways. You are spot on in your assessment!
