Don't know if you've seen them, but in the SW (Arizona, New Mexico, S.California) real chili peppers are put into wreaths and used as Christmas decorations, or they can be year-round kitchen decorations in various shapes. Christmas light manufacturers make their lights in those shapes too.

One of those shapes is a ristra, similar to a grape cluster. They hang in the kitchen and the cook pulls them off and uses them as needed.

It needs to be one with a little curve in it so the "feather" looks right. Big Jim's curve when they grow.

The best compliment I have gotten on quilting was from someone on this board who said I had complimented my friend's quilt without taking over. It echoes in my head every time I look at a quilt I'm going to quilt. I too listen to the quilt and they speak to me. I have one laid out across the rollers right now and it's been talkin up a storm!
