Feathered Tulips in Vases


I bought the fabric for this quilt in August of 2012 and started stitching in September.
Sunday I completed the top of Feathered Tulip in Vases.  
She measures 90 x 90 and is a lot prettier than the picture shows.



The original pattern only had three borders but it seemed more balanced to me with four so I added one more. I suppose it depends on how you use the quilt.   On a bed the top row would be covered by pillows and you wouldn’t see it.  
I enjoy doing reproduction quilts.  This pattern is from Collector With a Needle.  Dawn has several wonderful patterns she has drafted from antique quilts.
Hope you are all finding some time to stitch.

  2. A very good quilt in the works. I like the colors you chose. The design very prim in style. I am familiar with Dawn's patterns and glad to see a quilt made from one.

  3. This is gorgeous. Now how are you going to quilt it? I see big feathers and x hatching and outlines. Hand or machine?

  6. It's wonderful! Beautiful work. I know what you mean about not photographing well. Some quilts are just stubborn that way.:)

  8. Wow! Your quilt is beautiful. Having a project that is part of the slow stitching movement is very nice. You've done a spectacular job.
