Native Quilt

Meet my new favorite quilt! The best name I could come up with for this quilt was Native. I started out wanting to make a Feather Bed Quilt with the Chicopee fabric line. Then I discovered how time consuming it was to make each feather (I'm not good with templates).

So, the idea evolved into this multi-component quilt that included feathers, some different arrows and patterns all with a low volume background.

It's funny but my main inspiration came from the carpet at Great Wolf Lodge.

Lot's of Denyse Schmidt fabrics in there!

I started out by making all the different components and then putting them together like a puzzle. It was pretty tricky and I really took my time with it.

This top left corner of the quilt is my favorite. I just love how it came together.

The back is nice and simple using just three fabrics: two Field Study prints and the feathers!
