There are quite a few small yellow plaid stars in this quilt, so I decided to quilt a circle of feathers around each one.
I found a plastic bowl lid that was just the right size to mark the circle, using a hera marker (sharp edged plastic that makes a visible creased line). Once the stem was stitched, I was able to make "Hooked on Feathers" hooks and flourishes on both sides of the stem. Hand guided machine quilting with a Juki machine and no frame.
I love how you are very resourceful in your quilting, using thing you have on-hand to make it work for you. You have done a lovely job so far on this quilt. Thanks for sharing as you go!
