Hello
everyone,
We as
Feathergirls thought we’d start the year as we mean to go on…. with a finish!
You may have
been following our progress on our current Feathergirls projects…. our
scrapquilts… well, here they are, all finished… !
To the left is
my quilt, to the right the quilt of fellow Feathergirl Hubertine, you can find
more on her quilt on her blog (click)
The idea for
this 3rd Feathergirl quilt was to make a scrap quilt, when we
revealed our plans to eachother (click) it turned out Hubertine decided to make
her quilt of one pattern and while I originally started with the same idea I
found I could not chose which block or pattern to use so decided to use various
patterns and found the best way to do this was to place them in rows.
To honor
Feathergirl Hubertine and our co-operation as Feathergirls I added a row of the
rails pattern of her scrapquilt in mine as well:
Although I
tried to ‘make ends meet’ that did not
always work out in the end and with the great Gwen Marston (click) in mind I either cut
something off when it was too long:
or I added
something when it was too short:
Hey, this is
the Feathergirls... our aim is not to be perfect, our aim is to have fun with
it all!
This reminds
me of many of the antique quilts I have seen on my travels J !
So, not
perfect, but I love this quilt, it is colorful, I had such fun making it and it
is mine all mine, I thought it up, row by row, so it is one of a kind.

So, after
these finishes what is next for the Feathergirls? With a truck load of wips and
ufo’s each we decided to put starting another Feathergirl project on hold for now
and to focus on finishing some of those first. But that does not mean you will
not hear from us…. no way… watch this
space….
