This was an odd quilt. Odd shapes, odd colour combinations. (As always, my opinion only! I don’t make them — I just quilt them.)
How to quilt it? Well, for starters, I stitched in the ditch around all the dark shapes. I was thinking of doing something geometric in the pink areas, but I only had three small spools of various pale pink threads from different manufacturers, so I decided to do an all-over motif so that it wasn’t obvious where I changed threads as each spool ran out. I mostly did a combination of feathers and spirals.

Threads used:
- Top: Gutermann Sulky variegated pale pink ( 40 wt, rayon, colour 2100); Robison-Anton (40 wt, rayon, pale pink — no idea of the colour as the label went missing long ago); Madeira Rayon (40 wt, rayon, colour 11120)
- Bottom: Fil-Tec Magna Glide Classic pre-wound bobbin
I like this one the best of the three – like your swirls and feathers.
Not such an odd shape. Those are called lozenges.
Beautifully done! and great choice on stitching motif….it really adds to the “romantic” feel of the floral PLUS…….how can you miss with feathers!!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Great job!
