l love the quilt and your FMQ'ing is really great! I like all the different patterns you used in each block.

You are doing a beautiful job, I think you have it down. I just figured it out on August doll quilt swap. It has taken me I think 6 months to do that. Keep up the great work. It looks like your a natural. Good bless.

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. The quilt looks lovely. I'm glad you kept the fabrics out of the sale. I'm working my way through Leah's patterns too & like you choose the ones that flow in my mind. But rewind a bit - serging?? How do you get the seams to nestle & aren't they very stiff? I have a serger, in the attic, but never thought of using it for quilting. |
Lynn,
You're pulling my leg . . . this is a practice quilt? No way! This is one fabulous quilt example. How wonderful that you are practicing Leah Day's free motion quilt patters (although I'm not yet convinced about that), and have a beautiful quilt to show for it. I really like the colored thread used in the quilting -- makes the FMQ stand out. |
You did a great job, I love it!
