Feathers

When I first started machine quilting I didn't really like feathers, probably partly because I had no idea how to make them.  But once I learned, I also learned to really love them!  I like the challenge of fitting them into odd shapes, such as this shape on my Mom's quilt. I drew the S shaped spine with chalk and filled in with feathers

Along the edge I put feathers in half of that shape.

The center is all quilted!  Now I need to quilt the piano key border, sew on the binding and wash it!  Hurray!
