fortquilt

This quilt is the result of a short term BOM issued by Ricky Tims.  I chose the "Wizards's Wardrobe" color option. I received my kit in the the summer of 2018, but did not begin work until February of 2019.  I completed the applique in the summer of 2019 using a double blanket stitch and several colors of Glide thread, but only completed the machine quilting and machine embroidered binding in July 2020 during the quarantine days. I machine quilted around each applique shape and inserted as many tiny feathers as I could fit in the background. I used my Brother Scan 'n Cut to scan and cut all the applique shapes. The quilting fabric was Ricky's hand dyes, the batting is Hobbs 80/20, the thread was two colors of Superior's 'So Fine".  I did the machine quilting hand guided on my Innova long-arm machine. In the borders,  I followed the pattern's spine designs, but quilted much thinner feathers than the pattern showed.
