I don’t remember where I saw this idea, but this is an idea to do feathers that I found on a blog, that even I could make work. Start with a piece of tissue paper the size of the area (border, block,etc,) that you want to fill with feathers. Draw a “spine” line where you want the feathers to go, then using a coin (or something round of the desired size), trace coins down both sides of the line, and one at the terminal end of the line. See first example. Now, using another color pen or pencil, retrace the coins but terminate the lines in the top of the next coin. See second example. Please remember that I sew because I can not draw. Now pin your tissue to your quilt section and follow the second set of lines only. Feathers made.
