I was about to launch the next round of feathery fill, but decided that my wrists were feeling pretty sore and it might be better to pace this for another day.
My goal is to get this done in the next couple weeks. More updates on the horizon.

Machine Quilting
Last day of the stay-cation. Decided that since there was nothing interesting on TV, it was time to slave away on some machine quilting.
Have been outlining the pickle dish piecing in black and adding some feathery things on the joining squares. Here's a look from the back. Clearly I cannot FMQ in a straight line. I thought I was all done until I flipped this over for the photo. Missed a section of "eyelashes". Dang.
While it is hard to see red on red, I am pretty proud of this feathery bit. They actually look pretty darn good, smooth, and the way feathers are supposed to look. (Weird. ) I finished off the centers with some pebbling so those joining bits wouldn't stick out and wear down sooner.

This is looking mighty fine, Margie! And those lines get all soft and wrinkly in the wash, so it doesn't matter that they aren't perfect right now. Love your feathers. I haven't gotten the courage to tackle them via machine yet.
