I jumped back into quilting after 30 years. I am working on technique by making small quilts for kids in hospitals. Must be machine quilted to withstand a lot of washing. Need quilting ideas. It gets boring!
Just learned about a walking foot. That should help. Ideas?

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!! I won't be of any help to you because I just hand quilt! You'll get all the help you need on this wonderful board!

Do you free motion quilt. If so go to Leadaydesigns.com, she has some great ideas.

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. Have you tried FMQ. There are lots of quilting designs you can do.

I have not tried FMQ, but it's on my list. I am going to take some classes at our local (subway ride) quilt shop. Thanks!

Welcome from Ireland. Rail fence, log cabin or nine patch would be good.
