Here are a couple of examples. The butterfly I got from a picture on line, printed it out, traced it onto some stencil material and then free handed the body and antennae. The hearts I just cut out of paper folded in half, like we use to do in elementary school. The little curly Q's that look like ocean waves came from a real stencil I bought at the Houston Quilt festival. For the lines on the blue fabric I used a triangle ruler and traced off the edges every inch or so.
On the fancy cut block with the sailing ships, I free handed to make it look like ocean waves. Then outline stitched the triangles and squares.
These are my first two quilts. I am now quilting on a third. It is fun to be creative, so enjoy.
