Beautiful quilt & Beautiful quilting. I'm trying to learn the FMQ and so far can only do the meandering quilting style. How in the world can you do the feathers and other quilting patterns? I've tried to do feathers on a practice piece and it looked like loops gone crazy. Do you follow a paper quilting pattern or use a marker? I aspire to do what you are doing! I'm sure to get this good you have to do a lot of practice. Thanks for sharing!!

See my post above about the feathering method, it's a great method, no backtracking and is very easy.
And yes I do practise what I'm going to do alot - but mostly on paper just to get the feel of it, then perhaps one practice sandwich before I start. And I always have a couple of minutes on a scrap at the start of a new session!
