It's Free Motion Friday at
Fluffy Sheep Quilting, time to share are latest attempt to stitch one of
Leah Day's designs! I have to say that I was a little nervous about all the straight lines in this design, which was completely deserved.

| My back |
I think if I were to stitch this again, I would mark the center square and center of each side. My straight lines did wobble, just as I had feared AND my convergence of lines in not in the middle. Well, I guess the old saying 'what doesn't kill you will make you stronger'. Hmmmmm, not so sure with this design. So, I didn't want it to beat me, so I decided to play with the design just a little bit!

| Feather Fan |
I'm calling this one feather fan, for lack of any better name I can come up with at 6:00 a.m.! I have to say that fitting the feathers into this block was WAY EASIER than stitching straight lines!
This week has been a bit hectic, sew I haven't had a chance to add Bright Star into my FMQ Sampler. I think that might be something for Sunday! I'm off to link-up with my fellow FMQers at
Fluffy Sheep Quilting!

That feather fan is fantastic!! I want to be able to do that!
ReplyDeleteI don't think your lines are that wonky either!
I found it helped looking at where I was going rather than where the needle was if the makes sense - a bit like driving! But you certainly beat that pattern into submission - I guess you are a girl who loves her curves!?
ReplyDeleteGreat bright star and your feathered design is fabulous :)
ReplyDeletevery nice - love how you filled the space with feathers - very creative!
ReplyDeleteomigosh, awesome variation! love it.
ReplyDeletePat,

Wow! Look at your feather fan! It's so beautiful! Dare I say I like it more than the original design? There's not a chance I could do it, though :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou're on the right track with marking the center and edges. Clever girl, you!
I, too, love your feathers, well done you.
