Super Fast Jelly-roll quilt
#202
I plan on putting a border or two around the whole quilt (am still thinking about cutting it up into two or three pieces and rotating them - - just thinking <g>) ... anyway, a quilt and then a big stippling (EXCELLENT place to practice feathers or that special technique you want to practice. The straight lines and color changes will bear just about any pattern you would choose to do <wave>

Makes me want to leave work and go straight to the fabric store. I think I will let my granddaughter make this one. It sounds so fun and fast and easy that she would enjoy it. She is twelve and loves my sewing machine.

just an idea <g> <wave>

If the fabric used had a theme, you might incorporate that theme into the pattern.
If you want to do a simple serpentine line every other line or so, that would be fine OR!
A fairly open stipple/meandering would be wonderful.
Practice your feathers!
