no really good excuse, had a cold for a few days, work is crazy, inspiration was taking a holiday - all the usual things! But, I did get some quilting done this week - I used some things I learnt in
Carla Barrett's Quilt Whisper class, and finished off my Christmas quilt. Do you remember
Figgy Duff?
I started it last February - got the top pieced in no time flat - I based it on a quilt made by
Amanda Jean (
Crazy Mom Quilts) last year for the
Moda Bake Shop, but made it bigger, and then it sat.

| Figgy Duff - pieced |
And sat. And sat some more. I pulled it out and started working on it at the day long retreat I did with
Krista (Poppyprint). I got half of the middle quilted before I got bored with straight lines, and switched over to the inner border's feathers. That was better. Got that border done, and then it sat - again!
Until this week, when I realized that Christmas will be here before you know it, and I wanted it done! I worked on it on Thursday and got the cross hatching finished in the middle, the pieced border outline quilted, and half of the outer border's feathers quilted. This was a feather design I got from Carla in the Quilt Whisper class. It was a good day!
Today I finished off the border, trimmed and bound it.
I wanted it done, so I did a machine applied binding, start to finish.
