Hi!
I am just having fun and thought I’d link this recently made quilt to Ellison’s Modern Mini Quilt Challenge.
The main point of this quilt was for me to use the technique I learn from Sarah Fielke’s craftsy class : needle turn appliqué! I never would have thought that needle-turn appliqué would be this easy until I tried her method!
I was aiming for minimalist design with some fussy cut feather off Martha Negley’s feather collection and freehand leaves shape. I got my bundle of Martha Negley’s from Westwood Acres.
The colour choices : not really me isn’t? Haha! I was trying to run a bit from my normal bright colours – I kind of regret a bit for the choice.

And as for the quilting, not so minimalist ha? I was aiming to practice feathers. Hence the feathers everywhere. It was totally fun, and definitely has boosted my confidence to do more of quilted feathers.
Well, I hope you will have fun hopping onto Ellison’s blog for more minis! I know I am.
XOXO

I really like the colors and I think your feather quilting came out really good as well.
