Finally Finished ‘ Birds of a Feather’.

After all the procrastinating as to how I was going to incorporate the antique lace, made by my Great Aunty many years ago, the quilt is finished.

I hand appliquéd it onto the blue fabric before quilting in a cream thread along the heavier sections of the lace pattern. Really happy with how it looks, with slight ‘puffiness’ being created in the design. I then outline quilted in navy blue along the edges and added a band of circles all around the outside.

I feel the lace adds another dimension to the pattern and enhances the appliqué work. Very pleased with the finished quilt.
