Wonderful. I am so thrilled for you. I love feathers. And you are right, be consistantly inconsistant and your feathers will be beautiful and so much more interesting. You have beautiful curvatious feathers. My first feathers on a quilt were where I knew they would not show and then of course they turned out well. I practice any new design where it won't show. Then when I finally do it where it shows, I have had a lot of experience and am no longer afraid to let it show.
