In my search, they did cross hatch in the open area on the whole quilt with small wreaths around the snowball blocks in the sashing. I was wanting to get away from that. I do know that the feathers is on the traditional of the 30s. It was the trend for that era. So definitely doing those. I am doing a feather/cable in the outer border and in blocks and center. But from there that background is where I am stumped.
