Just finished this queen size quilt for a well deserving family member (will name later as they don't know they're getting it). I had a lot of fun using these bright hand dyed fabrics which I purchased at 'Sitches' on Saltspring Island last summer while we were on holidays. The border is a Kaffe Fasset fabric. I had a problem deciding on the border fabric as the colours were so pure that nothing seemed to do it justice. Barbara Bettles did an excellent job quilting it for me and the sweeping feathers all over it just make the colours pop even more. The backing is a plain white, just in case the recipients want a break from the bright colours (and the quilting shows up wonderfully on the back too!) It was a lot of fun making it. Machine pieced and quilted in Fall 2012/Feb. 2013
