Thanks so very much for your compliments!
To answer some of the questions: this is a QAYG, the sashing will be 1/2" finished.
I used templates for the feather quilting, it's not free hand! I wish it were. I can do vines, leaves, stars, flowers but no feathers. I'm practicing on them but they don't look good yet. I have been quilting around the flowers in the blue and it looks good so I think I will leave it that way. I still have to quilt the outer borders of the blocks, maybe meandering.
