I took a class on precision piecing from Philippa Naylor at the Houston Quilt Festival in 2008, but the top of this little piece sat in my pile of “things to finish” for about a year. I finally machine quilted it, finishing it in November, 2009. It measures approximately 20 1/2″ x 21″ (so much for precision piecing. 🙁 Actually, I think I messed up when I sandwiched it for quilting.) and was entirely machine pieced and quilted.
And here are a couple of close-ups of the feathers I so love to do. The color in these is a bit “off”, since I had to avoid using flash in order to see the quilting in the photos. The first is the center on-point block:
And here is part of the border:
