I'm having fun quilting on this new QCR design. We've decided to call it "Metro Twist"!
I had this top all loaded and was going to do some straight line quilting and changed my mind last minute. I ended up taking it off the frame, reloading it to go the other direction so I could do some custom quilting on it. Love how it's turning out!
I'm going pretty bold on the two different threads I'm using.
The quilt is so bright that the thread looks great on it!
I wanted to do some different feathers and instead of making them rounded on the tips I'm making the tips rectangular.
These are super fun and simple. As you can see there is no center vine. I mark a vine with my chalk pencil first and then quilt one petal to the next going from left to right to left to right and up the chalk marked vine.
The blue thread is a variegated King Tut thread and it looks beautiful on the navy background fabric! It's been a while since I used a variegated thread.
This pattern is a layer cake friendly!! How cool is that! Just one layer cake and your background fabric is all you will need.

Love the quilting! Of course I always love your quilting, but this is really cool.
Love this pattern and the "Modern Feathers". Hadn't seen this before. Nice Job.
This is a cool pattern and I love your new feathers! You're so talented. Thanks for sharing how you did it.
Looks fantastic!

I love this, Jenny! Your new angular feathers look very modern and counterpoint the curves really well. I'm so glad you didn't go with boring straight lines.
Question -- I can't tell from the photos. Do you stitch in the ditch everywhere first for this quilt, or just echo 1/4" on either side of the curved piecing lines? I first learned to stitch in ALL the ditches as a first step in machine quilting, but have since realized that doing it that way can mess up quilting motifs that I want to stretch across the piecing lines. Your work is always so beautiful.
This is a neat idea...very nice
Beautiful Jenny - LOVE the modern feathers!!!! That looks simple enough for me to try on my domestic machine :)

I really find so much inspiration from you and really just trying to replicate what you do is enough really it is. Anyway, wonderful idea with the feathers. I can't wait to try that idea because I haven't ever seen anything like that before but it is kinda a simple idea if you think of it it is just getting to the thinking which is why you are so amazing. Anyway, great job :)
