What a brightly coloured quilt top this was! I decided to quilt it with all-over feathers, using several different variegated threads to match the colour panels of the top. The backing fabric was a plain calico.
These photos were taken before I squared off the quilt ready for binding, so you can see a little of the batting at the edges.
