First borders

These two borders shall go top and bottom. I haven't yet decided whether to add birds at each end or to continue the feather....

This is a close up of the appliqué work. The line in the between the lobes shall be covered with the spine. Don't worry about the black lines, they wash out. If you click on it you will see a fine cat's hair but the stitches are still difficult to see. You can see the needle holes just. I used a 60 Microtex needle. Once it's washed, these holes will disappear as well.
The close up also shows the dress shirting fabric I've used as a background. That pattern is in the weave, it is not a white on white.

    What kind of pen did you use to mark the lines?

    I cannot reply to you as you are anonymous, but if you go to the search box at the top left of my blog I did a post on how to find your perfect marking pen...
    Put 'perfect marking pen' in the box.

    Sally - I too wanted to know what pen you were using but don't seem to see a search box on the upper left side or anywhere on your blog. I do see the three tabs at the top of the blog posts and lots of stuff on the right side but no search box.

    Whoops - just found it. I didn't know you could do a search of the blog you were looking at in this search box. I thought it was for searching blogs in general. Learn something new each day.

    Wow Sally, this quilt is beautiful. I doubt very much that I'd have the patience for an appliqued quilt, but I'm finding that I'm being drawn more and more to them. This one is inspirational!
