This months design was a feather stitch, and it looked so easy in the instructions. However, looks can be deceiving.
This is definitely a practise block, it looks like a child's scribble! I was just beginning to get the hang of the movement when the phone rang, and it was like starting again from fresh.
It doesn't look as bad as I thought when you look at the back. The initial shape, I can do, but I find the hard part is mirroring the shape coming back and keeping to the same distance from the stitching. I think I shall have to keep practising, that's what challenges are all about!

It's really pretty, Jane. I can see how mirroring would be difficult, but to my eye, it's just so beautiful. Nice work!
A really good effort. mirroring is certainly difficult but practising is what is so good about this challenge. Must get mine started for this month!
That looks pretty good for a first try! I don't think I'd ever even attempt feathers so you're one up on me! :0)
Jane, you are doing a great job. Keep practising!
Looks good to me for not doing it before. I have enough trouble machine quilting straight.
That is so cool! It looks impossible to me!
At least you have tried it! I haven't tried it yet. I've doodled on my paper and that's all I've done. I'm not sure I want to bother with feathers anyway but I guess it won't hurt to try....
I'm finding it hard to believe this is your first attempt at this design. It looks lovely.
