Several weeks ago I posted some designs for a couple of little appliquéd quail that I did to Cherri’s specifications, and she’s now assembled these into a quilt. She told me that she had liked a design on the website of Connecting Threads but that the birds weren’t to her taste, hence the request for the quails. (see the connecting threads website at http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm)
The original quilt design from Connecting Threads
Cherri used a similar simple layout of horizontal panels for her quilt, but she adapted some designs from Chantell’s Creations (http://www.chantells-creations.com/index.htm) which (she says) makes the quilting process much easier.
Cherri's quilt
The layout and the colours of the two quilts are similar, but personally I find Cherri's interpretation much more interesting
