A fun & scrappy feather pattern for our next donation quilt.

This is the chance to make use of all those scraps that accumulate and try something a little more complex than our usual 🙂

We’ll use osnaburg, a lightly textured, inexpensive cotton, as a background to unify all our blocks. It is available at West Seattle Fabric Co. in Admiral, as well as many other fabric stores & online.

The feather block is from the Feather Bed free quilt pattern designed by Anna Maria Horner.

She shows one block as having 2 feathers, but we’ll make them as ones and arrange our layout depending on how many feathers we get made 😉

Another blog  OliviaJaneHandcrafted.com, has an interesting tutorial on doing the feathers, lots of clear pictures!

Our next meeting is coming right up on Monday, Jan 26th, 4pm – 8pm
