One thing about machine quilting — it’s very committing. Once you’ve started down a particular road, it’s rather hard to change directions. So you want to be reasonably certain you’re going in the right direction.

Tonight I needed to decide what to do with the border of the quilt I’m working on. It has nice big areas to quilt and it needs something out in the border, so of course I’m thinking feathers, but how to make it look right. Above is my tracing paper version, after a few tries at other designs. Here’s a closer view of some of the blocks and one block I made.
