Sew Happy BOM

I finished this quilt and is super happy how it turned out.  I was hesitant about the navy border as I couldn't get the exact same shade of navy as was used elsewhere in the quilt, but oh boy, don't it just look lovely, bright and breezy?


 The quilting was done using various techniques.  The four blocks were done with feather embroidery designs from Embroidery Library as well as some stitch in the ditch.  Walking foot stitching was done on the sasching strips with freehand feathers on the wide navy borders.





The four outside corner stones were embroidered in the similar fashion with matching feather designs.

A closeup of the feather done around the outside as well as the braid I attached to the small red border.

I then stitched some red and green buttons on the small yellow cornerstones and another one in the center and I just love the appearance of it.




With the label at the back, this quilt is done.
