This is a jelly roll and yardage (Moda Mill House) I bought in a sale, but wasn't too keen on it once pieced - so I thought I would use it as a "practice" for some free motion. I have been working on freestyle free motion on my Janome, as I prefer not to have mark patterns out.
Hence the name - bit of a quilting "Frenzy", but I am very pleased with the result. I recently bought a SewSlip silicon mat and it has made fmq movement lots easier.
The quilt is 60 ins square. I used Hobbs 80/20 because of the close quilting and it is nice and soft still.
Thanks for looking.

This is a practice piece!? You don't look like you need practice. It looks GREAT!!! :-)

WOW!!!! If you are just learning how to FMQ!! You are an amazingly fast learner!!!! Great job!

Beautiful. Love the quilting.

Very nice. Great job on the quilting, too. :thumbup:

Beautiful! None of my practice squares look any where close.

Beautiful quilt and you did a fabulous job on the quilting.

LOVE YOUR QUILT AND THE QUILTING!

Awesome quilting!! And the quilt is beautiful as well.

I love 60" square quilts. And yours is a beauty!! I use them this way on my Queen sized bed and change them frequently according to the season. Here's a fall 60" quilt used as a topper

Beautiful :!:

If I could only do as well for 'real' as you do at 'practice' ! ! !

I love it - everything about it.
Dodee

You did a beautiful job on this!!!
The quilting is gorgeous :D:D:D

beautiful quilt and quilting!

Very nice job!

Beautiful !!! Hard to believe you are just a beginner with fm......Michele

Thanks all. You can see a titchy bit of a blue and white quilt peeking underneath on the 2 of the pics - its a king size, all different sized stars, which I want to heavily fmq - so this one was sort of workout I suppose... it will be harder though as its so big.
This one is the "heaviest" quilting I've done so far.

Mamagus - I agree, 60ins sq is a very versatile size isn't it - can be used on a bed like you said, or a lap quilt. I have one all in lavender shades which looks great on top of white.

I've been doing it about 15 months now, and gradually getting more confident. The hardest thing is deciding what I'm going to do on a piece :lol:

I think your "practice" looks perfect, Katrine! Front and back are lovely. I really like the Moda fabrics and the polka dot border!

You did an awesome job. I would be pleased as well if I could FMQ that nicely with no marking!

Great idea, but my big dogs (Great Dane & Rottie) spend most of their time on my bed. So I use fleece blankets I make, and wash them a couple times a week.

I love the pattern and your FMQ...You did an AWESOME job on both!! :thumbup:

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

Oh my goodness, that makes my heart go pitty-pat! :D I love the fabric, the quilting, EVERYTHING!

Wow, I like the quilt and your quilting is awesome. It is just amazing. Your practice looks like my quilting after a couple years of practice. Great job and thanks for sharing.

What a GREAT IDEA!!!! I'm going to use that one!

I don't think you need any more practice. I like the quilt, the colors and the machine quilting.

Absolutely STUNNING!!! :thumbup:

Wow, Katrine, your quilting is spectacular! I love that fabric line, too, I made a quilt for my mother-in-law out of it. Great work, you've made a beautiful quilt.

I wish my frenzy looked like that! Wow, awesome job!

Thanks Eddie - I have big problems resisting the Moda lines too - still trying to fight off Rural Jardin, but I may surrender ...

:lol:

Beautiful! :-D That's your practice quilt? Wow. Very nice job.Love your colors.

what she said.....beautiful!! :thumbup:

Beautiful, I love your fabrics and the quilting is wonderful.

Both the quilt and quilting are fantastic! Does not look like frenzy to me--looks planned out and successful!

Great job with the quilting.

Very very nice. If that was practice fmq you should consider yourself graduated. It is very nice.

wow, the quilting is beautiful
