I love the design! I kept trying feathers, and it looked too feminine. This however gives the impression of the feather, but it's not all "girly". I love curves on a really geometrical design.
I bought a clear shower curtain liner at the Dollar Store for auditioning designs. $4 and it was considered heavy duty. I don't know if I'd considered it heavy duty if it were hanging in my shower, but for marking on, it's perfect. I didn't want one huge piece, so cut it up. Now I have 4 nice 2.5' squares to work with. I can't wait to get one out and lay it on the quilt and start trying your design.
