The design for this quilt began with a series of thumbnail sketches with wavy lines, radiating from a corner. I penciled in connections in many different ways, and picked the ones I likes the best. This is the second design in which I have used shapes drawn from traditional quilted "feathers". The feathers are pieced from four fabrics in my Gradations collection for Benartex. The background is pieced from eight different colors in my Electric Feathers collection.
All of the curved seams in
this quilt were joined using "Applipiecing", a technique
I developed in 1989 to make curved seams fast, easy,
and accurate. Instructions for applipiecing can be found in several of my patterns and workshops on CD. These are available online at Joy's Fabric and Quilts. Free tutorial can be found at: http://www.bryerpatch.com/faq/faq.htm
