Feathers! ...or ferns?

I did some more fmq on my grandfather's quilt over the weekend. I tried feathers for the first time ever, as well as a double loopy meandering thing. The feathers went a lot better than I expected, though they came out looking more like ferns than feathers. They were really quick too! The double loopy meandering stuff didn't impress me as much - I need to work on making it more uniform. But a success in the end I suppose!

Sorry for the photo-laden post, but its kinda nice to see how the different patterns work together :-)

    I agree! Ferny Feathers are really awesome! I can do feathers kinda good but only if the center stem does not curve...and let's face it, the curvy stems look better. Your grandfathers quilt is looking really good. I bet he will be grinning like a possum when he sees it!
