The poinsettia and swags I thought of appliqueing are quilted on instead. The Right Hand of Friendship stars got some echo lines. I used a gold colored thread instead of my usual matching or blending colors for all the quilting on the colored areas.
The Glorified Nine Patches are quilted with echoed curves and a small feather in the center square. The negative space is feathered on the inside of the swags, while the outer areas got lines 1/4 inch apart.
Somehow, I managed to get a couple of photos of the quilt on the floor without any cat models.

Cheryl, this turned out to be so beautiful! You just amaze me at your eye for balance and creative style!
Oh yes, the texture created by the quilting on this is gorgeous. It was the right choice to quilt the border in lieu of applique it. The outer pieced border finishes the whole piece off very well. All in all a beautiful quilt to decorate your home with.
What a pretty quilt! I like the contrast of the straight line quilting and the feathers.
It's beautiful!
