    my thoughts too. like it as it is.

    I agree, I would echo what's there and keep following the design to fill the spaces. Beautiful so far and any way you decide, I'm sure will be just a beautiful :thumbup:

    You have lots of curves going on, try a change of pace, maybe echos of the triangle.

    I think it is beautiful just like it is. I'm not a fan of quilt every inch - I like to leave some of it softer.

    Lately I have been doing so much free hand I have lots of papers to practice on and it helps to do it on paper first.
    I like filling the whole triangle so there is no need to SID.
    Enjoy, I love your work!

    The pic shows my free hand which isn't to hot, but quilting them is so much easier.
    I would draw them out on paper a few times and then quilt.
    Enjoy
    Feathers are my favorite too! I have to practice the middle tear drop, mine aren't so good.
    Thanks this is my attempt at it....
    that looks great! Go for it!
