My feathers
I'm a very good micro-quilter. Small scale is where I excel. This weekend I tried to work on some feathers on bed-quilt scale. It is so hard to quilt large things! The thread I used was too thick for feathers, and I knew that when I started, but I wanted a practice piece so I used cheaper thread. Still, despite the build up, my travel stitching is much more accurate than a year ago when I last tried feathers.

Because I'm sure someone will ask, this is the quilt. I did not do any of the piecing. Our guild collects quilt tops and then asks other members to quilt them. I pick up 2-3 a month to do the quilting. Mostly I just stipple, but some ask for more of a design. I thought who-ever pieced this one did a fabulous job.

They look just fine. Here is a great site with worksheets on feathers and ideas for fitting feathers into different size patchwork:
