This feather fabric was a single 5†square I acquired during a 5†square game at my quilt guild several years ago. It’s just sort of taunted me for a while. I couldn’t part with it but I never quite knew what to do with it.
This mini quilt is a great way to showcase the feathers that make me think of flying. I added scraps in blue and yellow and included a bit of crochet trip with a bright red button.
When I order fabric from Anna Maria Horner, bundles are tied together with strips of fabric. They are fairly narrow to piece into a quilt but they work great for fused backgrounds especially with all over mini flower quilting.
I added a strip of lace with a charm hanging from it. Under the charm is a purple heart button for a little surprise.
Fly and Cherish are available in my Etsy shop.
I was recently asked if you could sign up for STITCHED 2015 anytime. Yes, yes, you can! We’d love to have you join us for a fun year of learning and sharing with all of us sewing/stitching enthusiasts.
