So I guess I just needed a deadline to kick me in the pants and get me going! I have made good progress on this piece. I am loving the feathers. One more setting triangle to go.
Still need to figure out what to do in the checkerboard border. But if I can get the last triangle and the outer border done tomorrow night after work, then Friday I can do the checkerboard border and block it. Leaving Saturday to square it up and do the binding and Sunday morning to wrap it!!!
But my question for the night is.... has anyone blocked a piece that has wool batting? Does it shrink a lot? Anything I should be aware of?
Appreciate the input.
Night all!!!

This is the first time I have quilted a whole top using the Quilter's Dream Wool. In the past I only played on practice pieces. I love the texture it is giving the quilting. The compass really looks trapunto'd once I outline it and stitched in the ditch of the top and middle layers of the folded compass. The circle geese have the same effect, as I outlined them as well.
Appreciate the input.
Night all!!!
