Practice makes perfect!! If you are brave enough to try feathers, you are brave enough. DO like I have done,
and get all sorts of quilting design books, one of my favs is by Sue Patten, she is so talented, you dont have to make yours exactly like hers, but it does help inspiration, when I first started I loved my pantos too, but now, I'm a bit
more creative, and free motion my own patterns, so dont give up, keep on keepin on!
