Peacock Feathers By Tara Sensenbaugh
With dark blue, make a double magic ring and Dc 10 into it. Do not join. Fasten off. Work the rest of the feather loosely so that it lays flat and doesn't curl up. Hold the piece with the semicircle part up and the flat part down like in the picture. Then attach the yellow with a slip st to the 3rd st from the right.
