If I decide, I'm thinking of doing something like yours. Would you mind? Your talent is so wonderful. I look forward to seeing yours grow.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477948659411074859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-73147217719807368442012-02-06T20:05:16.301-05:002012-02-06T20:05:16.301-05:00Hi Barb!

I took a picture of it, bought the fabric at Yoders and of course, never made it! It must be a version of the antique one you're basing yours on because it has the same medallions between the feathers and the same border. The biggest difference is the color. I knew I could never do the medallions but thought I could do the feathers. I love how you take a pattern and make it your own! I don't really have that ability so I really admire it in others!!!Mary Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791692601889811377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-6988131285636847412012-01-24T16:08:14.804-05:002012-01-24T16:08:14.804-05:00Oh this is too beautiful for words...The original ...Oh this is too beautiful for words...The original is wonderful but your version will be sensational.

I think your Princess Feather looks great - the fact you drew it yourself makes it even better. I can't draw worth a lick, so I'm envious! The whole project looks terrific and I can't wait to see how the quilt comes to life as you progress.

If it is, do you wash/dip your whole quilt to get it out or do you just spritz it?
