Gone to the cats and dogs, of course!
You might (or not) recognize this quilt. It's this year's birthday quilt that my Amazing Quilt Babes and I started this last February. Then I took it to Cambria, CA to finish and I had left one side of the inner border off. Well, as you can see, all is well now, and it's on the bed. I absolutely love it, and apparently so do the animals that I live with.
Here's a close-up of the beautiful feathers that my long arm quilter did for me. We found this particular feather in a different size on a quilt we saw when we attended the Machine Quilter's Showcase in May. She adapted it for size, and I think she's done a marvelous job. Pumpkin seeds in the 4 patches just set it off. I used Fairfield Cotton and Bamboo batting this time, and I think it is now my favorite batting of all time. It quilts beautifully, drapes beautifully, and Hubby stays warm on his side, and I stay cooler on my side. Enjoy!

Its a beautiful quilt and looks lovely on your vintage bed. I love the colors and fabrics.
Love the white dog and black cat quilt testers.
I just got a quilt back from my LA too. She also did feathers for me. What's not to like about feathers!
Anyway...I love your pattern you used. Is it your own design? I want a copy of it!

This pattern is from McCall's Quilting and it's a Robert Callaham pattern that he did for the magazine. I don't know the year, though - maybe 2006? When I tore the pattern out, the pages don't have the year:(
Terrific quilt Sharon- and your pets look like they approve. It really is an elegant quilt. Thanks for sharing.
