This color block quilt
makes use of a clever design element; an appliqued star vine in
opposite corners. This, however, creates a large empty space in the
alternate border corners.
I could feather the space,
but I already envisioned a funky feather in each of the color block
areas. So, how about copying the star vine into the space in thread?
Like the ghost of a previous star vine?
I traced the original star
vine on vellum, cut out the full piece, pinned it into place, and traced it on the
space with a piece of chalk. Stitched in black thread, with a medium
meander around it, and it just floats there, seen or not seen depending
upon the lighting.
Here are a couple of views
of the funky feathers, that radiate out from the middle of the piece.
Another idea that worked. Yippee!
