Have you ever looked at a quilt that you had thought you were finished with and it just didn't look as good as you hoped? Well that is what I've done recently. My "Red & White Wedding" quilt has very nice feathers all over it. With SID around the pieced blocks. But the feathers didn't quite fill in the plain areas and just didn't pop the way I had hoped. The original quilting had been done 2 years ago.
So I put it back on the frame and began quilting again. I added "sprigs" of feathers in the plain areas and put veins in each feather. Also added some curliques where needed. Now, I'm pleased. Now I can say "this quilt is finished". My eye moves around the quilt wanting to look at more. It makes me smile. I can say I'm happy with this quilt. Moral of the story is, that it's never too late to add more to a quilt to make it zing.
