A finish!

Do not adjust your set, you read that correctly, I have had a finish!

This is a table runner I put together for a charm square workshop (I can't remember if it was this year or last year) and I never got around to quilting it. Well, yesterday I decided to change that.

I quilted peacock feathers in four rows, two rows following the direction of the braids, and a row in each border in the opposite direction. Super easy. The thread was my favourite variegated YLI thread in the Caffe Romano colourway. I bound it with a reproduction stripe fabric from my stash, and it's now done! Feels good to complete a project that has been sitting around for a while.

  1. Ok..I don't know what a peacock quilt design looks like. I enlarged your picture and still could not see it. Think you could get a better picture? I am really interested to see how it looks. Your braids are very nice!

    I love your peacock quilting and have been doing it now on several of my projects. It is so easy to do and I'm finding I enjoy it better than meandering.

  9. You sure do a nice job quilting. The pattern you used for piecing this quilt is different and I like it very much. Would make a nice larger size quilt.
