Now what? Help please!
I am making 12" blocks, some with rather large white areas. I thought I could use those for practicing my FMQ, using templates. So I did. Now I'm stuck at what to do with the blue areas. I'm not that good at free motion feathers, I'm practicing but I'm too scared to just go ahead. The blocks are on my design wall and I'm staring at them, not knowing how to proceed. Any ideas?

Those are beautiful feathers you did in the white!! Wow!! I think in the blue I'd do a vine with large leaves to go along with the flowers. Also, the FMQ isn't as visible in the print so I don't think you'd need something as detailed as the feathers. Wow--I can't believe you don't think you can do feathers. That's going to be a very pretty quilt.

Thank you Jan
I used templates so they're not my free hand feathers! These were 'easy' but now comes the hard part! The vine with large leaves is a good idea, I will pull out a practice piece and see how it goes.

Thank you ArtsyOne
Sometimes when you look at pictures of blocks you've made it hits you: I thought what if I just stitch around the flowers in the blue fabric. So I did that on one piece and it's looking good. I don't know if I want to do that on all blocks though.
