and it’s even cooler when you stitch it in a feathered wreath! (see below)

The Bicycle Chain Spine
  This spine is my favorite and it works really well in circular spine designs as well! (see below)

The Feathered Spine
Big or small, those feathers just seem to work everywhere!

The Curly Cue Spine
For real elegance, give this one a try!

The Swirl Scroll Spine
Another variation on a swirled spine…

The Inverted Feather Scroll Spine

but it also works great in a feathered wreath with a wide spine or any scroll spine

And we also demo how to use circular spine designs to custom
fill rectangular quilt blocks with feather designs!
