I marked part of the lower feathers. I marked the spines on the upper feather and freehanded the rest other than the part that went underneath, I marked that so that I could find my way!! The heart was a last minute idea!!

Hints for free motion quilting? Practice a lot. I bought Diane Gaudynski's machine quilting books and read them word for word a couple times. She has some amazing tips and shows you exactly how she does her machine quilting. I am also participating in the 2012 Free Motion Quilting Challenge and it is helping better my skills because I have to practice and do work on designs that are out of my comfort zone!! It is a great challenge!!!

This quote made me laugh. But the quilt is absolutely stunning.
