I need your opinion on the border pattern. The inside of the quilt is being done with stars, holly, berries and a wavy ribbon. The border will need something that is 5" to 6" wide. I'm the type of person that can't draw a straight line with a ruler so freehanding a design is completely out. I have a stencil in a feather pattern that would fit perfectly but not sure if it will blend well with the other patterns. I've added a photo of the quilt and the stencil for you to see. What do you think? Thanks for your opinions and suggestions.

[QUOTE=Tartan;6923104]I think it is a lovely stencil. I would just add a few freehand holly leaves to the feather and a few ribbon tendrils every so often.[/QU
Do you mean to stitch a feather and then stitch a few holly leaves and then the feather again?

Not that it really matters, but are you hand or machine quilting? It's a lovely border stencil (in fact, I think I have that one!). I think it will work wonderfully with your other quilting motifs. Go for it!

Here's a link to the feather stencil that's like mine. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Stencil-Quilt...-/380924744490 . And thinking of them as angel wings is a wonderful idea, Baloonatic.
