Onto the last wide border,..
I have been watching Jamie Wallen's YouTube video. as I decided to do the Curling Amish feathers for this wide border... Hoping the curves allow for the wonkiness.
I drew the design spines as per Jamies tute..in chalk.. and decided I needed to practice this before i started...as some of the feathers seemed to be sewn 'backward' to me anyway ..
Rough Drawing first..
Corner on the right was the first - then I changed tread to variegated and did the second one.
Didn't quite get the upside down/back to front ones..
Drew with purple vanishing pencil where I thought I should have gone!
Finished up with these two corners. The top smaller one was ther first..
Now I think I have the confidence to start the border on the quilt.
Thanks to Jamie's video of course :)
Had to stretch the feathers a bit much on the last bit..need to watch more of the video to see haow Jamie did the 'stretch feathers :)

Thanks for sharing the link Joan - what beautiful stitching! You caught on very quickly :)
how beautiful! the perfect border for you quilt! you are getting so close to being done now!
This is going to be very pretty! I need to get back to practicing this Amish Feather. I put it on a quilt & took it off the frame to rip it out to do it better. Guess what! I found that blue fabric with the feathers you played with a couple weeks ago. It's called Early Birds curlicue blueberry. I bought some on Etsy & am going to totally copy your idea for practice on the longarm
Great going, aren't Jamie's video's great.
Awesome!!! Those tight corners are hard for me!!! I need tons of practice! Yours looks wonderful :-)
Fantastic Joan! Woohoo!
Some really nice fmq on your blog - not to mention your header. I am relatively new to blog land and a keen fmq so good to find fellow enthusiasts. Hope the quilt goes well.
