The spoon is the top of the feather that has that tight curve. It is almost a circle like you have in a wreath but not quite perfectly circular. Put a wash out dot or a chalk dot in the center of this circular area. Then as you quilt your feathers coming from the bottom of the stem into that spoon area , don"t go past that dot that is effectively the center of your spoon or that area that looks like not quite a perfect circle.
