Last year, when I finally got upright divided quill wings right, a fellow member here "challenged" me to "try tying upright divided married wings", so, I finally got around to giving it a shot, and I believe it turned out quite well, even though the only quills I had on hand to marry were slate mallard and mallard McGinty, so the wing looks a little bland, but it was just an attempt to prove to myself that I could pull it off...

Looks good, is that a specific pattern? Looks like a hair tail, grey dubbing and grizzly hackle.

no...just something I threw together...brown hackle fiber tail, a married mallard/mcginty wing, gray muskrat dubbed body, and grizzly hackle...kinda just a quill-winged adams.
 

You inspired me to try last night.

I failed, miserably.

Yours, however, is not a failure. Looks good. Inspirational. ;-)
