Blue Delph Quilt

Yeah, finished quilting, forty six hours on a longarm and lots of time thinking and drawing.  The idea was to merge the design of the quilt top and the quilting into one design.  In person the quilting shows up so well, but the lighting for the photo didn't show it off well.   It took 46 hours to quilt on the longarm with 3 1/2 hours of ripping for one motif that was not centered correctly.  It was the last marked and quilted.

The delft quilt (a start)

The carpenters square will hopefully turn into a kaleidoscope.  The off white is McDebyished, (my friend Kathy named it that), a combination of McTavishing and feathers.   All the flowers and leaves are outlines but the center of McDebyishing would be so large so I did semi circles of 1/2 inch unquilted near the ends.  They puff beautifully and show up well in person making a nice design.

 This is the background feather star for in the four corners.  A smaller partial ones will be between the center sets.  There will be semi circles of designs between the feathers.  The blue jacket has this same background fabric and the same star.  It goes a lot faster with practice.   Outside design is to be determined (translation, I have no idea).
