An earlier discussion about how to quilt a Chevron made me decide to go ahead and post the two I've done. I did both in a similar fashion but the FMQ on my second one (the one with the flowers in front) is the better of the two. I think I'm finally beginning to get a grip on this FMQ stuff - not that I'm thinking feathers and fancy curls are anywhere near my future! :D

But I'm happy with what skills I've begun to develop. I do seem to find the loopy pattern to be easier for me than a stipple or anything else. Even the time or two that I was able to use a longarm I found that to be the case.

So here they are. They were made a few months apart but I used the same "friendly to fat quarters" pattern that you can find here. http://www.limasews.com/2012/10/chev...orial-and.html

So pretty..:thumbup: Love how the second one shows up outside. Nice quilting too...

Love the second one's colors. Grreat job!

Great quilts! What is the name of the pretty flowering bush in your pictures?

WOW. I love them both.

they are both beautiful. I spy some riley blake rainy days in the second one...love that fabric. Quilting doesn't always have to be feathers and fancy. What you did is just perfect for the pattern. :)

I love them both! and the quilting is perfect.

I really like these. Keep thinking I'll do one....someday.....
