Sweet baby quilt

I quilted this sweet baby quilt
for a customer.
Had never quilted a candlewicking
quilt so I was stumped for a while.
I felt like the blocks should be
framed since there was no sashing.
When I framed two squares I noticed a secondary
pattern and filled the space with feathers.
 
 
I quilted around the candlewick
like I would applique. Made it pop.
 
 
This is such a sweet baby quilt.
I knew she wanted to use the quilt so I didn't
quilt any tiny background fill.
 
 
I wanted to keep it soft, not stiff.
 
 
Feathered the borders.
Hope she likes it and the baby enjoys it
for years to come.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day,
remember the soldiers who gave their lives
for us.
