And I'm so nervous. I got the first border done in a beadboard (you can see the back of it on the take-up roller). I did a line at the square patch intersections, which is every 1 3/4" then another 1/4" from the first line.

The block quilting pattern is something I came up with while doodling at work. For the pointed dark patch archs around the edges I'll do curved cross hatching soon as the templates I ordered get here. For the light area around the blocks I'll do feathers in a light thread and fill that space.

I just really hope this comes out well. :roll:

I love it! Can't wait to see what else you do with it! I've started doing a lot more feathers and I think they will look great with your other motifs!

Yes, the quilting pattern is my own design. I was trying to come up with ways to just do a curved outline of the triangles, which was stumping me because the quilting at the point comes into the bottom middle of the next one so, I thought to do this coming from the middle of each one.

Then came the swirls to put something in the light area of each flying geese. Then, I needed to do something in the larger triangles so I put in big swirls and saw that they made another pattern where they meet in the middle.
