FMQ and 10 minute block pictures
 
3 Attachment(s)
I started a thread a bit back about challenging yourself to do some FMQ - get some inspiration from this forum and Leah Day's site. The idea was to create a 10 minute block piece and FMQ in the centers - easy for newbies and quick. Jeanne from Oregon wanted to try this as well so we have been emailing back and forth.

I completed a small project and thought I would share the pictures.

Very inspirational! I love the bowtie effect of your blocks! Looks great and your floral designs add just the right touch!

I love the Leah Day classes. I have learned so much. I am working on the wholecloth class now. I made a large quilt a few months ago and was going to send it out to have quilted. I think I am ready to take the plunge and do it myself. Everyone should check out her website she is a very talented young lady. You did a beautiful job.

very nice-you will be quilting like a pro in no time if this is your 1st.

I like the 10 minute block idea for trying the FMQ patterns. The whole project is a nice practice piece, with a good ending!

Very good. If I could do that, I would be doing larger size quilts. I love the pattern you chose for the solid blocks . You did a nice job.

I told Jeanne from Oregon the same thing - having the right machine makes a huge difference. I quilted on my Bernina but it was always a struggle. My Quilter's Pro is a champ and is very forgiving (no stitch regulator!). ANYONE can do FMQ!!! Just start small, then work your way into larger pieces. I have done many up to full size (I don't do Queen size - I don't have room) with no problem at all as long as I go in small sections.

Pretty, oh so Pretty.

The is good. I have to practice some more on mines.

Grandma Peg 04-09-2012 01:37 PM

you did a great job.

debcavan 04-09-2012 01:40 PM

Great idea. Your quilting looks wonderful

Nice practice sampler! I am enjoying Leah Day's lessons on FMQ. Leah certainly helps build that confidence I seem to lack to just go and do it.

You did a great job from one CT quilter to another!

nannyrick 04-09-2012 03:20 PM

I keep hearing about this 10 minute block & now I have to go look it up. I wonder if there's a tutorial here on the board? Or there's always Google, I guess...

solstice3 04-11-2012 05:35 AM

lookin good!!

JNCT14 04-11-2012 06:00 AM

Do a search on the forum for 10 minute blocks. There is a lot of info and pictures. I saw some on the pictures site where cat on a Mac posts and got inspired. They are really fun and QUICK.

Very pretty!

Very good idea for practicing FMQ. I took a FMQ class recently, and I've decided to practice at least 30 minutes a day, so i don't lose what I learned. It's not easy to be that disciplined though. When I get into my sewing cave, other projects start talking to me, 'Me first! Me first!' It's hard to ignore them.

anniesews 04-11-2012 11:27 AM

Sure looks better than what I have tried to do.

quiltymom 04-11-2012 11:29 AM

Sew Nice!!!

nstitches4u 04-11-2012 01:17 PM

Very nice! You did a great job!

jamsbuying 04-11-2012 01:27 PM

Great job!

Stitchnripper 04-11-2012 02:04 PM

It all looks great. I just finished a 10 minute block quilt except for borders and of course backing and quilting and binding, and have been thinking on how I want to quilt it.

maryellen2u 04-11-2012 02:11 PM

I am so impressed! Good job!

luce321 04-11-2012 02:25 PM

Beautiful job.

MimiBug123 04-11-2012 06:42 PM

I've just started to try FMQ and it fascinates me. I've got to practice a lot to get as good as you!

Jammin' Jane 04-23-2012 02:28 PM

Looks great! You go, girl! :)
