I love this pattern!! I used all scraps(including small ones) and am very pleased with the finished quilt top. Since I used natural Kona Cotton for the light side, I want to hand quilt feathers in the light. I have 2 templates, but they don't fit the space and look like I want. I would love to have feathers that curve around the colored squares to fit the space. I have tried to draw free handed feathers(4 times) without success. HElP! Any ideas? I've looked on YouTube and I can't duplicate what I see. Quilt Shops in the area don't offer free handed feathers or templates. I would love to be able to draw the kind I see on YouTube that curves to fit any size space. Thanks

I used this method to mark a quilt that won a Judge's Choice ribbon in a national show:

You can use these blocks in any log cabin setting. I chose the Barn Raising setting.
I’m including a picture of the placement on a portion of my quilt to help you identify the block in my quilt.
The last picture is the finished quilt.
I hope this explanation gets your creative juices flowing. I love it when I have inspired others to make their own creations.

Please post a picture of your quilt when it is finished. I love seeing the new and improved versions that others make.

Yes that would be excellent too. I like the white, though. I have quite a lot of white with small roses I think will do just fine. Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I'm just figuring out Pinterest so it took me a while to find it again. LOL
