My first feathers looked like that, too! It's trying to get them to go more "out" than "up" that I need practice on. Great job!

great quilting job.

Wow, you did good, that is a very pretty stack n whack

Feathers are much better than mine. I just can't get the hang of the feathers! I can't even seem to doodle them very well. Quilt is very nice.

I thought it was easier to quilt them than to doodle them.

Very prettyly done.

love its beauty and simplicity

Very Nice, I have got to try them someday!:)

Love it...your feathers are alot better than mine...and I know practice practice practice.....

Looks great! You did a nice job on it! :)

It is a very pretty quilt and your choice of quilting makes it great. Your first try is really good, just wiat till you get a little practice under your belt! You must keep this quilt tucked away and bring it out in a year. When you compare your first work with what you will be doing a year from now, you will be amazed! Keep on stitchin'.
peace

Well done Barb!:thumbup:

Very nice...love your quilt..

Yea, you jumped in and did it. And a very good job too. Way to go girl!

your feathers are fine.....just keep doing them and each time they will be better and better, then you can start embellishing them.......I remember my first feathers looked like those long grapes they used to sell, looked like fingers......I smile once in awhile when one of the feathers now does a kind of "oops".......Have fun......

Well you certainly did a good job

I agree with everyone else. You did a nice job. It is beautiful

beautiful
:)

Gorgeous work.

You did goodI am a long armer and the best way to learn is just draw them out.Over and over and over.The brain doesn't know the difference between paper and pencil or machine and hands.Try it,it works.I have a lot of scrap paper I draw a lot of stuff out on.It took several weeks to learn Jamie Wallens feathers but now I can feather any block in any shape in no time.Try it.And post your progress.You are off to a good start.

Looks good! I can't figure how to run down the side with feathers ,my machine is a mid arm, only does about seven inches at once. Maybe I have to finish down the whole quilt and take off frame and put it back on sideways-seems like too much trouble-does anyone have the secret?

I think you did a great job!

Beautiful quilt!

My machine only does about 4 1/2 inches. I had to turn this to do the side borders. Of course this quilt was only about 45 incshes square so it wasn't a big problem to turn.

Good job. The feathers look good to me and so does the rest of the quilt.

Beautiful! You give me encouragement as I want to do more that SITD or grid. I just have to take the time. I was told it could take 25 hrs of practice so must make myself do it at least 3-4 times a week for an hour each time. That's the plan anyway.

I was told it was 100 hours of practice. After doing a couple odd pieces of fabric sandwiches, I decided to do one of my litted quilts thinking that if it turned out good I was ahead of the game. I have some wobbles and pointy places where there should be rounded but I'm learning as I go.
