I decided on quilting feathers in the plain blocks of my antique quilt. I divide the quilt diagonally and through the middle. These lines give me a stem for the feathers while the other lines are a guide to the width of the feathers. It's difficult for me to fill the whole block with feathers. These feathers are big and I'm much better at quilting smaller feathers! I don't mind having the corners free of quilting. I think it still looks good.
Here's a view of a row of feather filled blocks. I like it and feel it fits in with the antique look of the quilt top.
It's too hot today. I don't have much energy even though I have central A/C. It's just miserable out there!
Your feathers are beautiful. It brings such life to the top. Fabulous job as always
