Quilted Quills

I'm done quilting the feather quilt!  The binding is done, too.  It just needs the threads clipped and a label.  I can give you sneak peek of the back; the rest will have to wait until it's gifted.

I'm hoping to do a full reveal later this month.

Just after I bound it, I ran into problems.  Some of the binding caught wrong, but a little ironing and restitching fixed that.  Then I discovered an ink spot in the front, on the white.  It's a little dot, but how the heck did I do that?!?  I would try to remove it, but I figure I'll make it worse.  Better a little black dot than a larger grey splotch.  Lastly, I found one feather's seam had pulled apart.  The white thread nested in the middle of dark blue is what caught my attention.  I'm really surprised I hadn't noticed it with all the ironing when I pieced it.  I Stitch Witchery and carefully hand stitched that down.  I am sure that no one but me will ever notice that (or think that the stitches were on purpose). 

I need to get it out of here before I find something else wrong!  Because really, there is so much right about it.  I can't wait to show it off for real.
