Coloring outside the lines

I used a single charm pack of La Petite Ecole and a large scrap of Luna Notte to make my smaller version of this month's Schnibble. 

I spent far too much time with my seam ripper during the assembly process.  As a result, some of the blocks were not quite as neat and tidy as I would have liked.

I decided to take a risk on the quilting - hence the coloring outside the lines blog post title.  Instead of just doing an overall meander, I decided to go with the feather theme.  I love how my four feathers turned out on the inner sashings and the border feathers are ok.  However, not overly fond of what I did in the blocks themselves.

That said, I did have a blast doing the FMQ.  Feathers really are fun.  Next time, I need to try for something which does feathers over the whole quilt - ignoring the blocks themselves.

Looking forward to seeing what others have done with their fabric choices with parade time at Sinta's and Sherri's blogs


Happy Stitching!
