I was asked by Nikki if I could donate some time and quilt a quilt top for Quilts of Valor. My answer, definitely. Then I saw the top. Oh Crud. I don't custom quilt. I have decided that I'm a pantograph through and through. Everyone has to be good at something and I can safely say that I've mastered the pantographs. So back to the quilt. I stared at it for a few days until I figured out I could do an all over feather design.
Here is a picture of the quilting on the back.
It's Fay Feathers from Willow Leaf Studios.
Now for the front of the quilt.
I'm really pleased with my efforts and would be happy to help Nikki out anytime she has more Valor tops to be quilted.
Have a great day.

Great choice of design, and good for you for donating your time and expertise!
I just love the job you did, Becky. Haven't had a chance to chat with you since I picked it up, but you did a great job. All over pantographs are great and the one you picked really is stunning!
Careful what you wish for.... I have people finishing QOV tops pretty often these days. I could keep you very busy! Just let me know when you'd like another one and I'll get together with you. I usually have a few waiting for quilters. :) Thanks so much!
I found your blog through Vesuviusmama. You do gorgeous work!
It looks fabulous! Good for you, you know whoever receives this quilt is going to love it.
I've decided I'm a panto gal too. No custom for me, makes me crazy.
