This is truly a fine piece of art. Elsie used Judy Niemeyer's foundation piecing technique and did an outstanding job of making things square and flat. Pressing was of utmost importance to eliminate bulky seam intersections. Thank you Elsie! I used Anita Shakelford's Amish Feather border for the outer border. I drew a little embellishment for the flying geese border. The setting triangles were fun to draw and aim for a twisting feather motif. The ring center and melon center were designed by Judy Allen in her book The Art of Feather Quilting. The arcs were done with a continuous curve pattern, grouped and repeated in Creative Studio4. Enjoy looking at the pictures, and be inspired! More pictures in my Picasa album.

I would love to use the ring center and melon pattern, is it just described in the book or can I buy the digital pattern? Any helpful hints would be welcomed.
Thanks, Gloria
Try www.digitech.com for Judy Allen patterns. I don't think this one is digitized yet. It is pictured in the book.
