Mom's Christmas quilt

So, my Mom has tons of fabric. It only makes sense since she has been quilting for most of her life.  I returned this quilt to her this weekend, all quilted and bound. (see pics below)...then she informs me that she has Oh, say FIFTEEN quilt tops that need quilting.  Yes, you guessed it - she is trying to use up ALL her fabric while she can still sew.  Okay, well, I know that won't happen, but, really - fifteen quilts???

AND YES, I'm going to quilt them - probably ALL of them.  And while I'm quilting, she will be sewing....Hmmmm.  I think someone will be quite busy for awhile - especially since said someone likes to sew and quilt a few of her own quilts!!!

Mom's Christmas quilt is filled with feathered quilting, some I marked a spine or a circle to quilt feathers around, others were totally free motion with no marking at all.  Isn't it beautiful? (note, beautiful, not perfect).

 This is a pattern Mom got from Missouri Star Quilt Company's website.  They have tons of really good tutorials.  Then she added a few pieced blocks that she came up with I think?

 I love this little block in the corner.  I thought about it quite awhile before I came up with this one by combining two patterns - this was totally free motion, no marking. >>>>>>

 Do you like the quilting on the poinsettia?

This pattern was out of a book that has 1000 quilting ideas.  Um, I looked at most of them trying to find something feathery, yet different to put in this space.

And below, I decided to use the 2 borders as one and quilted feathers all around.  :)  Enjoy!
