Ta Dah!
Here is my Bees of a Feather quilt:
Ok these are clearly not the grand reveal photos I was hoping for. No that's my 6' tall husband standing on a ladder after it totally poured with rain and was rather windy!
I did get some pictures earlier in the week before I washed the quilt. I snuck into my neighbours garden and threw it over their big fence and then their slightly worse for the weather shed!
The quilt measures approximately 85 x 100" and is VERY hard to take a nice picture of in winter, in the wet, in my little suburban house with a rubbish camera. So forgive me and I hope you gain some sense of its magnificence!
The feather block is from this Anna Maria Horner pattern.
This quilt would simply not exist without the help of two very wonderful groups of ladies. My Scrappy? Sew Bee It! bee made me the first round of feathers back in October 2012 and then the Bee A Brit Stingy crew made me another set in January 2013. They did a fantastic job and I love having a quilt made by friends that have taught me so much and really inspired me.
Thank you to Annika, Carla, Catherine, Charlotte, Christiane, Collette, Deborah, Debra, Di, Emily, Erin,
Helen, Jan, Janet, Janine, Jeanne, Jess, Jodi, Karen, Lisa, May, Nicky (twice!), Rosa, Sana and Sheila for making the feather blocks and making it such a special quilt. Honorary thanks to Helen for her always excellent advice.
there's another row on the other side of the fence! |
I had a lot of fun piecing the feathers, though at times it was like a puzzle. I added some low volume prints here and there to make the rows the same size.
The back was done 'jelly roll race' style with wide strips of prints I love that I cut from stash. A couple of these prints were given to me by other friends so it's nice to include them.
Thankfully I was able to use the fusible wadding to baste the quilt, I wouldn't have enough pins and just couldn't face anything else! It worked like a dream, has been through the wash and is lovely and crinkly soft. I would definitely use it again and for those that hate basting you should give it a go.
I hand quilted with Aurifil 12wt cotton in 4241 for the stems and 2214 (a gorgeous deep golden colour) around the feathers. I used a milliners needle and had no problem hand quilting the fusible wadding with the thicker thread.
Since the weather is still miserable and cold this will keep us snug on top of the duvet and brighten up our bedroom. Another check off my FAL list :)

Absolutely brilliant finish Lucy. It is a stunning quilt, and well done for hand quilting it - beautiful.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway. I would choose:
Blue Herringbone, Blue Hexagons, Yellow Pinstripe Chevron and Multi Herringbone. I would actually love to use them as bindings on cushion covers or miniquilts - they are nice and bright and that is what I love :-)
That's an amazing quilt- the colours really do stand out in the drab weather ;) I love the jelly roll race back too, I probably wouldn't mind piecing a back if I did it that way.
My choices are: Blue Herringbone, Grey Herringbone (total favourite), Black and White Fretwork and Blue Pinstripe Chevron. And I'd probably use them in cushions or bags!
I would choose the grey hexagons, white mandorla, grey herringbone, and blue herringbone. I am trying to bolster my stash of greys for an EPP quilt I'd like to make someday, and the blue herringbone is just so lovely I'm sure I can find a use for it :) thanks for the giveaway!
your feather quilt is truly fantastic! how lovely to have blocks made by so many friends :) it isn't easy getting pictures of a quilt that big, regardless of the weather. I think you did an admirable job.
The 2nd row of blues, I am working on a Blue Quilt for me.....
Your feathers are just stunning. That is a large quilt and you did a great job on the quilting. I'm going to have to check out that pattern.
I would choose the yellow line - yellow deco fans, gray dahlia, yellow hexagons and gray herringbone. Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful work!! I love them. :)
Clearly, I would chose any of the blues - look, I can prove it, I already have! :)

Again, well done on the feathers!

I'm way behind in my blog reading, obviously, so I'm not here to enter the giveaway, but to say your feather quilt turned out beautifully! I imagine it's very hard to take a picture of a quilt that big when the weather is shite. Wouldn't want it dragging on the ground at all. I love how your feathers are bright fabrics. They really pop.
Wow. I adore your feathers quilt. I have been meaning to try this block... haven't done it yet.
