Trouble quilting today HELP
Today I got nothing done quilting my quilt for my daughter. Help, wise quilters. I received a card from her with an angel. I decided to quilt some angels on this quilt for her. This did not happen because I could not even draw a simple angel on paper. Changed my mind to a feather, but was not able to draw that on paper either. If I can't do something on paper , it's not a day for FMQ the same thing.
O wise quilters do you have any tips for quilting a feather. I can't even draw one, that is the problem. I don't like to mark my quilts, but rather just free motion them.

find a book or magazine that shows a good feather you like-and trace it with your finger- over & over until you get the (mind-set) of the paths- and how you want to do it- tracing it with your finger first really helps- then you can just put some guide-marks on the quilt- (or free motion) them- your minds eye will have the shapes figured out .
