Forgotten post

I'm not sure how this beauty missed being posted but better late than never. These are great applique and pieced blocks in bold, modern fabrics. The solid yellow background gave me a nice place to put some quilting that could show because the blocks themselves don't have that much room.
I know that this quilt is double batted with wool and cotton 80/20, and I think that the thread used on the background is a gold 40wt poly. I outlined the piecing and applique too, most likely in a clear thread. Somehow, the pertinent details escape me after 2+ months time.
 I'll leave the photos to do the work. Beautiful fussy-cutting on this block.
 Who doesn't love a nice pointy star in purple?!...

 Feathers frame the setting triangles and help to frame the quilt.

I love to sneak in a traditional element like the feathered wreath on what would be a very traditional quilt, if not for the bold, modern fabrics. It's just the playful juxtaposition I appreciate.
The backing is a solid-ish fabric and shows all the quilting so well.
 No shortage of texture here!
Go and enjoy yourselves a little February snowstorm Misery loves company, ya know!

PS...I'm not in Florida this year. Sigh...
