Open Feathers

Feathers, with a little practice and time, are a beautiful addition to your quilting repertoire. They add elegance to your quilts, and who doesn’t like the look of feather quilting on a project?

What I really love about the open feather is that it is very quick to quilt. It suits both contemporary and traditional styles and is a very versatile design. The open feather, as the name implies, has space between each plume and requires no backtracking to complete the basic design. However, I will take this basic design and demonstrate how to make new designs from one simple stencil.
