Gosh, for 'practice' that is a lovely job.
|
Lynn, I love your quilt. You did a beautiful job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
HOw about I keep it for you? You did a very very nice job! What is the fm with the lollypop? It looks more like a bee flying around? I would like to try that one. I have done spirals and stippling and hearts so far!

That sure turned out very pretty considering those were scraps.

I pieced it all with my serger...boy that went fast... I have done some FMQ but mainly stippling. I wanted to give some other things a try. I am quilting all the solid squares with the large flower like pattern. The patterned squares something different in each one. Right now I am mainly trying to get the continous movement down, and working on something larger then a sample piece. What a huge difference. Once I get the movement branded in my brain then I am going to focus more on getting even stitches. I have been watching the 365 days of FMQ with Leah Day. The patterns you see are hers. I watch her videos and when I see one that seems to flow in my mind the way she makes it flow in her video....that is the one I try. I need TONS of practice...I have found out that so far it is not like sitting and sewing for several hours because my jaw gets really tired...Yes I said my jaw. I tend to circle my jaw with the flow of the pattern. :roll: Maybe if I chew gum or something when I am doing it that will help. Good thing there really aren't quilting police or I would be landed straight in quilters prison. :lol: I also had the bright idea :idea: that if I post regular pics that I will get it finished. No, no do not sell that at a garage sale. sigh. |
I think it's great!
|
Well done.
Next time you are giving away fabric, well, make a quilt. Great job. |
Excellent job for "just practicing"!
|
What a great job! I love your solid flower square. This is just in time for me to start quilting my first quilt...also a baby quilt. Thank you for the motivation. Can't wait to see yours all finished.
