Welcome to block 10.
The photo above is a detail of
a circa 1860 quilt in my collection.
The quilting is gorgeous cross hatching, even
The quilting is gorgeous cross hatching, even
through the applique'.
So soft!
This is one of a few
variations on
Prince's Feathers I
have in my collection.
I have a dear friend in Illinois
that likes to go searching for
treasure (one of our favorite
past times when we are together)
and she finds the best deals!
On occasion I will get a
pic and a question mark
text from her.
This was one of those texts.
It is beyond lovely even with holes:)
Let's talk Prince's Feather variations.
Most of these quilts are
straight forward plumes.
Sometimes the maker dresses
them up with additional details
(flowers or leaves) set
between the plumes as with this one.
Another variation to look for
is the center where the plumes
meet. Is there an additional
detail such as diamonds to
cover ends?
ASSEMBLY TIPS
My biggest tip is to
pin the center wheel in
place first to use as a basting
guide for the feathers/vines.
Once they are basted,
stitch away:)
