End of April - already! A Finish and a WIP

Just a final post of April, with a quilt I finished last weekend. For a small quilt, it took me awhile to finish it - see I started it back here.

Dream Feathers loose feathers corner 

hmmm.  Is this my only finish for the month - that's a bit of a change.
But, I have pulled out one of my UFOs - I started quilting this about a year ago, but it's now time to finish it up.

I put it away because I wasn't happy with how it was looking, but I now just think of it as practice and have fun with it.  Also, looking at it I can see how my quilting has improved in the last year - and that's a good thing!  UFO to WIP - that's the way I like it!

    As always your machine quilting is impeccable! Oooooo I'm so jealous! I definitely need to get the 2 commissioned UFOs out of the way so that I can concentrate on the FMQ!

    Wow, your quilting is A.Mazing! Beautiful. Do you do that on a regular sewing machine or a long arm? Your finished quilt is stunning!

    So great to see how the all-over feathers "break up" the squares. And the curved cross-hatching is genius, I'll have to try it!

    Improvement is a good thing indeed, though to me ALL your quilting is fabulous. These feathers - whoa. And that curved cross-hatching! Whoa again.
