Cheddar Bow Ties "DONE"

I started this quilt in 2011 as a leaders and enders project along with Bonnie at Quiltville. I am so glad to call it "DONE".

I love how it turned out, especially since it was my first attempt at free motion quilting feathers.

I could have kept going and made a larger quilt, but I didn't think I could stand to make any more!  It finishes at about 70 inches square, so its a great throw size quilt.

That makes two recent finishes of old UFOs.  Feels good to finish them.  Its a lot of fun to start new projects, but its more fun to finish old ones

Feathers!

I tried my hand at quilting feathers today.  Just practicing and trying to learn how though!   I am putting a five inch border on a quilt and am planning to quilt feathers in the border.

I drew a five inch border on this practice quilt sandwich.

Can't wait to get that quilt top finished and start quilting so I can see how the feathers turn out.
