Okay, it took a bit longer than I expected to finish up that center stitch-in-the-ditch and knotting/burying the threads. But the quilt is finished and is going out in the mail tomorrow morning. Here's a sneak peek of it. The feathers are done with the IQ (computerized longarm) but the pebbles and lined borders are hand guided free-motion quilting. The batting is a scrap of Warm & Natural cotton, doubled up for a bit more loft. Thread used is Superior Threads So Fine 50 weight thread in a contrasting color. Oops, I almost let loose what the colors of the quilt are. Ah, and finally the binding is the traditional sewn mitered corners method which really fills out the edges with batting.
