What kind of template/marking did you do on the white? I would think you could make a half feather template to go on the blue? I would use the seam between the white and blue as the spine and do a half feather in the L shape. It is beautiful so far!

Very nice!!
I would use something linear to sort of "frame" the feathers. The feathered squares need to be the star of the show. Perhaps two narrow lines on each of the edges with one more line down the center - like a matte inside of a frame.

Thank you all so very much for the wonderful compliments and great ideas! This is such a great group of people, I love this board!
@Treasurereit and Tartan: I do it the hard way. I draw the lines from the template on paper, draw the whole design with a black line and trace that on the fabric with a silver pencil. I can do that because there are no seams so the lines are visible. I do have blocks with lots of seams and I think I will use WSS on top of the fabric. I'm not very fond of using WSS though as I don't want to wash it out but I don't have a lightbox yet.
@clsurz: thanks a lot for the link to facebook. I never heard of a MOD Quilt Quild, I'm going to check it out!

My first thought was, if I could do feathers like those I wouldn't care what I put in the rest of the blocks! Have you been quilting long? What kind of machine are you using? Sorry I have only questions and no answers! What you've done is simply lovely!
