I was inspired to do a repeat of sorts. So today was just cutting and fusing time. I had been piecing bricks to make a long banner or table runner. I had planned a flying geese band for the border. But I tossed that idea to the wind and decided to just add fused plumes.
That's a quarter on the purple plume for size reference. I traced off a few from leftover plumes from the large quilt. I quickly gave that up and just winged it by cutting free hand.....faster and more quirky since sizes vary greatly.
It's about 60'' long. I will begin to stitch down the plumes and decide if I want more or not. I do enjoy a good repeat...lol.
I need to finish up the bread I am making.....so stitching tomorrow.
Happy stitching.

This is beautiful. Definitely worth repeating.
ReplyDeleteHappy fusing, and eating! Your plumes look like such fun to make.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful repeat!
ReplyDeleteI like to think of repeats (and I do enjoy them, too) as another piece of art in a series. If important artists can to a "study" of technique or subject, why can't quilters?
ReplyDeleteA very pretty repeat.
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to smell the bread baking!
Your fused feathers are very beautiful and the resulted top too, I love .
ReplyDeleteI like the plumes, geese would have been pretty but the look would have been so different. The plumes give it a pretty whimsical look that I love.
