This quilt (35″ square) is machine pieced and hand quilted. I learned the technique for doing this from a class with Moneca Calvert at Quilt Camp in the Pines in the summer of 2000. The quilt presented a couple of challenges for me. First, I had to learn to do the curved piecing. Second, I couldn’t find a ready-made feathered-heart template in the right size for the quilting, so I had to learn how to draft my own. That was made much simpler thanks to Marianne Fons’ book, Fine Feathers. All of that was worth it, though, when the quilt won third place in its category in our local show in 2001. 🙂
