Optional Applique:
Download and print out the Feather Applique Pattern (below)
Make 16 feathers, and 8 feathers (reversed).
Draw an 11" circle on the center of your Nine-Patch Block.
Arrange 16 feathers around the circle. (I added mine at top, bottom, left, right. Then I added one in the middle of each section. Then another one in the middle of each section again.)
Arrange 8 feathers (reversed) inside of the circle, the same way as before.
Applique using your favorite method. (I traced my feathers on Steam a Seam 2, fused in place, and appliqued using a machine blanket stitch.)
