Help. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time....

[boppinbrandy]

I cant seem to think of what to do in the purple and green. I think they need to be their own element. She wants a feather wreath in the teal and swirls in the light background. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you could do a little line dancing thing or a line dancing/feathery thing in each one.

I can see some CC's in all the other colors....YOu can really get some neat designs going with those!

[Quilting Heidi]

Brandy I think I would have a hard time with that too. The purple seems to over-take the block design. I would probably cc the green block and maybe 1/2 curve cross hatch in the purple. Does that make sense? I guess kind of arched lines in the purple going out to the background.

[boppinbrandy]

I don't understand the 1/2 curved cross hatched. Like going from one corner to the other with a curve?

[Quilting Heidi]

Brandy I couldn't make the 1/2 cross hatch look right drawing it so I'd probably not end up doing that. You could do a Rhonda curved cross hatch design forming a v, echo and then fill with cross hatch and that would look good but not sure you want to go to all that trouble. I ended up drawing a feather swirl in there and liked that best. Something like this (even though this is a horrible drawing). Kind of makes it look like it goes with the middle block more.

I like it Heidi!! Thanks so much!

[Bekah]

putting my two cents in here for what its worth, I like Heidi's idea. it makes it flow

[quiltmonkey]

Like Heidi, I was thinking feathers, too but doing it in both the green and purple block. Kinda like this??

[quiltmonkey]

OK another thought (I hate it when feathers are too long they look like fingers or hot dogs!)

So if the feathers are too long you can start a curl toard the larger part and curl around like Heidi did but use both blocks for the feather??

[boppinbrandy]

I like this too! Thanks Shana!!

I like the combining of the green and purple. To do them separate really breaks it into scraps of a quilt instead of a complete design. Together they make me think of the leaves of a flower.

I would do the feathers similar to Shana's design. a very elegant simple look there, fits the elegance of the fabric.

I was just going through Kimmy Brunner's Whirly Twirly feather book and DVD and her one design would be good in here I think.

Instead of doing a feather wreath in the middle and then treating the outer purple and green blocks separately, I would do the whole thing as a feather design. Break up the center blocks in 4 squares and then stitch a curve spine out towards the outer blocks and fill it with feathers. It will be like you have a feathered star! I wish I could draw it for you like the others, but I don't know how!

Sorry if my explanation is confusing! Good luck!
