In hindsight I wish I'd made a template for the wavy quilting lines around the blocks, so that they all matched perfectly, I used my bendable ruler this time and if it had been for just one block it would have been fine.
I still haven't decided what filler to do inside the feather borders yet, I'm thinking maybe bubbles to match the feather spines, it would take an awful lot of bubbles thou!
I have started the quilting in the half squares, they were really intimidating me at one point yesterday as they looked so big, I knew I wanted to do some sort of feather, but not one big feather motif and I'm really pleased that I went with the feather fillers instead and with a different type spine for me.

| I need to do more quilting around and maybe on the applique, to help it lie flatter! |
There's loads more quilting to be done on this yet, it is really eating up the hours!

Happy sewing!

Wow! your quilting is beautiful! Love it!
Well, it's worth every hour it's eating! Let it have its fill - this is going to be absolutely gorgeous! I love the pebbly spines on your white-square feathers. Also, I don't think it detracts one bit from your quilt that you didn't have a stencil for the waves of the applique blocks. They look terrific together!!!
This is exquisite!
What wonderful quilting, this quilt is just beautiful
Your feathers are lovely. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
I love Feathers and Your Bendable ruler worked as far as I can see. You can't rush if you want it done without having to use that dreaded Ripping rool.
Custom quilting is quite daunting, isn't it? And you are doing a wonderful job. This quilt is already singing because of what you are putting on it. Keep up the good work. And, take a break from it as often as you need.
So beautiful..looks perfect to me :)
Great job, stop being so hard on yourself, anyone but you looking at it won't see anything but a fabulous job.
Lovely feathers! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
It is bee-you-tee-full!!!! You are doing a fabulous job with the quilting. A beauty, for sure.
