Light As A Feather

Last April, I showed you my test Feather block from Anna Maria Horner's Feather Bed Quilt, as well as some directions for doing this block as a bee block.

For this bee block, I provided the solid background (creams and beiges) and grey for the the feather spine. I asked my OMQG Bee mates to use medium value scraps for the feather edges.

I was tidying up my studio the other day and realized that I hadn't shared these beauties and that it was time to start working on this quilt again.


I am definitely "hearting" these blocks! Thanks bee mates!

I think I'll add more beiges to spread the feathers out and maybe make another block or two.

  4. Although I realise you may not use this layout for your quilt, I really like how you've offset the feathers.

  8. I'm currently making my second AMH feather quilt! I made one for my daughter's boyfriend for Christmas and my hubbie loved it so much that I'm now making him one of his own. It's such a fun quilt to make AND quilt....and leaves lots of fun scraps to play with ...
