I saw this pattern on another forum and have used it a bunch - very effective, and the nice thing is it doesn't have to be neat, the wing can be unstacked and thin and scraggly and still work.

I bet that thing would be FUN! Peacock and black, and chartreuse.... Both in size 12-ish would be lights out here I bet!
