I don't have the name of the quilt, yet. I will get it next time I see her. Like I said, I want to make this one, too.

I marked the spine on the first one I did, transferred that to freezer paper, then used that to mark the spines on the rest of them. The spines for the border was a wavy ruler, then I added the turn backs. I also used rulers for the continuous curves in the stars and half-square triangles in the borders. The spins were done with a circle template, starting in the centers, going out to a corner, then coming back on that same line (don't move the ruler!!!).

My machine has about a 16" throat, when the ruler base is attached. It was nip and tuck to get the vertical feathers in one pass. I think I had 1/2" extra top and bottom.
