Quilting the Super Cool Awesome Quilt of Valor

Oh My Gosh!!  I had SO much fun quilting this one .... I just played, I just layed the top on the ground and thought of texture.... so I loaded the quilt, turned my CD player on.  ( yes I am still a CD'er.... )  and quilted!!   Until the buzzer rang for me to go get the kid!

Are you ready for a lot of photos??? Here we go!

I quilted this little swirly star in the stars.

You kind of start in the middle, then swing out, and meet back at your start - so it looks like its one motif. 

I also used a puffy batting...

A side view

can you see the puff ;-)

A top shot

Then I feathered the Zigs ( or the Zag - your choice)

Ta-Da!!

A couple of top shots.

I couldn't find my step stool - so I had to reach 

I put pebbles - lots of varying sized pebbles in the Cream. I love them - you can't work yourself into a corner - you just backtrack along a pebble to get where you want to go - LOVE them!!

Oh!! YOu can see the feathers much better from this angle....

So.... There you go - That is the Super Cool Awesome Quilt of Valor - also known as Stars and Stripes!!  I will take mine Sunday to our sew day and bind it - and label it - and it will be complete!
