sdaurio Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I really wanted to try custom quilting on this one. It's for me so I was able to do anything I wanted This was the second time I used a stencil, used it for the feather flower in the middle of the colored patches. The other feathers were free hand and lots of ruler work. I found I had to make and use a ruler on the horizontal diamonds. There's just something about the ruler in back of the hopping foot that I struggle with, so I did both, marked and used a ruler. I really wish I would have had a solid backing, but I knew all along it was my practice quilt....next time Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
