unuasual quilting idea...will it work and look good?
#32
I call it my Wavy Straight line, I teach all my pupils this one as their 1st step in FMQ. I still use it quite a lot for softer bed quilts and quillows.
Sorry the quilts a bit rumpled but I grabbed it from under Muffin!

I have a very basic machine so straight or grid quilting is my options. I was thinking of starting at one corner and letting the foot meander on its own and kind of guiding it to the opposit corner. Then begin following that line with the presser foot to the right corner. Of course I would follow the line to the left corner also. So in my mind this would be combining fmq and straight line quilting. Has anyone ever did this or seen it? I only do small quilts like doll and baby. I dont think it would be to hard.

I think what you describe will be pleasing, especially with the repetition of the slightly meandering line to the opposite corner. It will probably look like movement in the breeze. I would try it on a sample first to see just how much curving looks pleasant. You don't want it to look like a "crooked" line. Good luck.
