My new wholecloth quilt is finished at last!
It took me ages to accomplish the feathers, as I stitched them with a metallic coloured thread. That thread proved to be a nightmare to hand quilt with, but I still love the shimmering effect it produces
This special shimmer of the thread set against a subtle sheen of the satin cotton fabric reminds me of looking into the depths of a precious stone - hence the quilt's name.
I decided to decorate it with some lace and glass beads, as the quilt looked rather unfinished with a plain binding.
Thank you for coming, and have a great week!
