| Remember this panel? I showed it in January but haven't gotten around to working on it until this week. I debated about the quilting pattern to use and eventually decided on a programmed Feather design by Anita GoodDesigns. I sandwiched the panel with some left over backing from another project and some pieced scraps of warm and natural batting. |

| Using the largest hoop and no stabilizer was the way to go. Here you can see some basting lines as the blocks stitch out. |

I always appreciate the size of the computer screen on this machine. Here you can see that I imported the design twice, stacking one on top of the other so that I could stitch it out with one hooping.

| The large hoop and 11 1/4 inch space between the needle and the machine arm make larger projects easier to manipulate. |

This is the last row of quilted feathers on this panel. I made the quilting more dense at the top and the bottom of the panel to help it hang straight.
This is the design collection. A lovely selection of feathers, I have more projects in mind for this one. I have to fill in the spaces between the feather blocks and bind. I plan a free motion stipple and a black double fold binding. The thread I am using is gold colored, non metallic. Hope to wrap this up in a few days.
