December challenge tutorial was brought to us by the amazing Patsy Thomson. Checkout her tutorial for free-form feathers at
SewCalGal's FMQ Challenge.
I was making a baby quilt and tried her continuous feathers. Checkout these pictures showing the continuous feathers. These are a modified feathers using Leah Day's swriling petals FMQ design. I had previous blogged about in
March 2012.
