Quick Quilt



I ironed, cut and pieced this together in 4 hours.

This is where I will practice my "feathering" technique.

  • Always iron each step of the way
  • Cut off extra fabric to make "perfect" triangles (use a "Square in a Square" tool)

I will use my Juki mid arm quilter to quilt feathers in gold thread later this month.

Mt. Timpanogos

Current quilt I'm working on March of 2011.
It is for friends daughter that will be sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in April.


This is one of the 20 blocks up close.
This is the close up of the embroidery. It took 10 hours just to do all the embroidery work
