I was inspired to do a repeat of sorts. So today was just cutting and fusing time. I had been piecing bricks to make a long banner or table runner. I had planned a flying geese band for the border. But I tossed that idea to the wind and decided to just add fused plumes.
That's a quarter on the purple plume for size reference. I traced off a few from leftover plumes from the large quilt. I quickly gave that up and just winged it by cutting free hand.....faster and more quirky since sizes vary greatly.
It's about 60'' long. I will begin to stitch down the plumes and decide if I want more or not. I do enjoy a good repeat...lol.
I need to finish up the bread I am making.....so stitching tomorrow.
Happy stitching.

This is beautiful. Definitely worth repeating.
Happy fusing, and eating! Your plumes look like such fun to make.
Beautiful repeat!
I like to think of repeats (and I do enjoy them, too) as another piece of art in a series. If important artists can to a "study" of technique or subject, why can't quilters?
A very pretty repeat.
Oh, I want to smell the bread baking!
Your fused feathers are very beautiful and the resulted top too, I love .
I like the plumes, geese would have been pretty but the look would have been so different. The plumes give it a pretty whimsical look that I love.
