065 - Smaller Curved Feather-Inspired Leaf Shape

065 - Smaller Curved Feather-inspired Leaf Shape

Inspiration

The last in the series of leaf appliqué shapes inspired by feathers.

Details

This one is a smaller, mirror-image of the previous leaf shape.

Each of the five feather-inspired leaf shapes are repeated in the four corners of the quilt design. My goal was to reinforce the idea of the red 8-pointed star-shapes as flowers without obscuring the light cream areas in the setting triangles around the center star. I may wake up tomorrow, walk into the studio and decide it needs something more, but, at the moment, I am thinking it's "done" and ready to be layered and basted for quilting.

Quilt top with feathery leaves added

Again, these rainy day photos in the studio are far less than desirable ... I really wanted to share, anyway :-)

  1. The photo is great. I thought this couldn't get any better, but the flow of the feathers around the center is wonderful!
