I used a Prismacolor Verithin pencil, color Argent Metallique #753 Metalli Silver. This is a very light gray. I can see it easily when I'm quilting but if you stand back 2 or 3 feet, you can't see the line at all. Someone found the quilting stencil online, I'll be sharing the link next Sunday.Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-77765706669192090652021-03-02T03:59:21.354-05:002021-03-02T03:59:21.354-05:00Your quilting is gorgeous, Gretchen.

The design is dark enough it showed through the white background fabric without using a light box. I could easily see to trace the design onto the fabric. I've never seen it anywhere else either and I always look at the stencils when I'm at a fabric store. I've also checked online stencil stores, they don't have it either. I think it must have been an original design from the store which has since closed.Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662530267747207868.post-36857518569464334882021-02-28T09:29:27.787-05:002021-02-28T09:29:27.787-05:00Those feathers are beautiful and I love the curved...Those feathers are beautiful and I love the curved diamonds in the middle, too.
