You might want to go look at the videos on her website about vines and
leaves. They use the same general idea but are more contemporary and
informal than the feathers. I think I will end up using some of them
on this quilt, too.

Wow! I love those feathers, Carole - the large with a few small fitted
in - it looks beautiful. I haven't been a fan of feathers, but I really
like this variation. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I like these because the plumes are varied and they have a
more free-flowing look that the traditional feathers that are all the
same size. Plus, they're much easier to do when you don't have to
worry about the size!
