I am having fun with feathers - as a quilting design. The formal feather is ok and looks great as a border, but I have discovered some freehand doodles that are more fun and easier for me to do. I have even done an entire quilt with a feather meander.
I quilted one top with feathers over all, took a good look at it, and went back and doubled every feather. Being able to echo the designs, add stems and frills, makes the feather versatile for traditioal and non-traditional quits.
Feathers are also a design I can put on in every direction without taking the quilt off and turning it. That is an amazing discovery since I hate turning a quilt. Ahhh, feathers!
