dreamquilter A miniature adaptation of "Feather Bed," a quilt designed by Ana Maria Horner (anamariahornerblogspot.com). The original pattern uses strip-pieced units for the feathers. Since I wanted a mini, I used whole pieces of fabric for the sides of the feathers and 2" by 4" blocks instead of 4.5" by 9" blocks. These measurments enabled me to keep within the miniature quilt guidelines for quilt shows. I re-sized it in Electric Quilt 7. It won a blue ribbon in the Lone Star Heritage Quilt Guild Show, 2015 and a blue ribbon and Judges's Choice in the Mineola League of Arts Show, 2015. I have made one full sized feather block from the pattern and plan to make a full-size quilt.
