Kayleigh has been keeping me so busy these past few days that progress has been slow, but I am getting there, at a snails pace.. Or so it feels. I guess its not all bad, if rushed I might just mess it up. Don't you just love feathers? I do, combined with smaller pebbles and swirls it looks even prettier.
The next two images is from the front and back of the exact same spot quilted. I think this time the tension is perfect, can you see how the feathers pop both on the front and back? I was worried when adding the smaller scale quilting that puckers will form, but so far so good, its looking great!
Unlike when I quilted the circles inside the sashing, I am not making use of any markings when quilting the feathers. I love the result quilting white on white, it really blends in well with the background and it really makes the design stand out.
A big thank you to everyone's response on my Monday post. Most of you know I reply to every comment via e-mail, unless you're a no-reply blogger, I always keep a note pad writing down questions I've received, and I will soon share some of them here on my blog. Its sometimes a bit hard keeping track bouncing from e-mail to blogger...

Such beautiful quilting! I'm still working on getting my feathers to look like, well, feathers :-) Thanks for the inspiration - I'll get there someday with enough practice.
You are doing a beautiful job of it. I haven't had the patience to do such small work yet.

Loving seeing this quilt develop - sooooo much work Marelize, just fabulous :)
Fabulous quilting!
Your quilting is out of this world. I wish you could teach me.
You make me want to step outside my comfort zone and work on feathers and combining more than one quilting design into a quilt. Even when I make a scrap quilt for myself I often fear doing anything adventuresome with the quilting. That has to stop. I need to write this on my idea wall to help reinforce it. Thank you for both the beautiful quilting and the inspiration!
Your quilting is inspiring!!
Marelize, your quilting is so intricate. I am so amazed at what you can do! It's just gorgeous!

Beautiful quilting! I love your combinations of feathers with spirals and pebbles. It really flows.
I absolutely love the color palette for this. A lot of the time combining pastels can create a sort of saccharine, precious effect, which is fine for a baby quilt, but this one I would be happy to have for myself.
Do you know Kollabora, the crafting site? There are some great quilters on it already, but not very many. I think everyone there would be excited by something like this.
