Kathy, thank you; I can "see" in my mind's eye many quilted feathers on that quilt ... especially on the off-white, BUT (big BUT, too!), I need to practice quilting feathers. I bought Sally Terry's book, "Hooked on Feathers" recently, so I need to practice, practice, practice.

Those are not ALL Bali Pops either. I also have quite a lot of Stonehenge (I think that's the right name) blended in there.
You might try drawing feathers on paper (or copying them), pinning the paper to your quilt, dropping the feeddogs, and sewing over the lines. I cannot do anything freehand and must resort to this for designs.
