When I make a quilt, it takes me awhile to decide how to quilt it.  For this beauty, I hung the quilt on my design wall for a few days so that every time I walked by it, I could take a look and think about it. I recently ordered a DVD explaining how one quilter makes those quilting decisions - basically divide and conquer.  One piece of advice which I thought was particularly interesting was to take a pic of the quilt, then print it out in black and white - keeps the colors of the quilt from being a distraction and you see the quilt from a little different perspective.

Anyway, I came up with this design and I really love it.  There are a few different variations I have in mind as well, which keeps it interesting, but they all include the basic curved petal shape with free motion feathers inside.


  Woot, Woot - I do love to do those!  On a sample, I echoed the outside of the petal and loved the look, but for this quilt, I used the seams of the fabric and marked lines between the sets of petals... LOVE!



Hope you enjoy it as well!
