This is a beautiful Carpenter's Star my friend Max pieced. The lovely white space is a quilters dream and just cried out custom quilting. Max had the original pattern photo showing an awesome aray of feathers. Feathers are the reason I started longarm quilting so I was happy with the request. Although the photo showed stipple type meandering in the white spaces I just knew I wanted to do more.
The feathers are all freeehand and the wreaths and white square blocks are curved cross hatching using Rhonda Beyer's rulers. The batting is Hobbs 80/20 and the thread is Invisifil by Wonderfil.
