You can see that either end has a row of daisies - another well-liked pattern, it covered the fabric well. No attempt to turn a corner here!!
Another view of the running feather pattern - very attractive.
This quilt is unusual in that it has Pauline Adam's "edge"- ie the front and back were seamed together before being set on the frame. Here, it is well done and hardly noticeable, unless you look very carefully for the machined seaming stitches. The edge is machine top stitched.
A view of the centre of the feather, with its double line for the feather vein.
And here is the running feather pattern in another quilt, the Rothbury quilt - I did not show this pattern very clearly in that post, so here is another photo. In this version, you can see that there is a "worm" or vein with a twist, in the centre of the feather. A popular pattern like this is bound to have several variations.

This quilt was clearly made by a professional quilter, it is very nicely done without being complex, and the stitching is neat and regular. It could be a "club" quilt.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, I love white on white !
ReplyDeleteI especially like the feather detail on the Rothbury quilt
A beautiful texture created with this fabulous design. Feathers are the ultimate!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful photos.
I didn't know that twisted vein was called a worm - another snippet of quilt history gleaned here.
