Quilting Outside the Box
 

I was reading about quilting outside your comfort zone and decided to share my experience. My dear sister "forced" me to make a very nontraditional quilt. I will admit it is Not my favorite, but it sure was fun to make! I quilted each piece of fabric differently which really added to the fun.

Great quilt and great practice. FMQ takes a lot of practice!

I like the colors, and it looks absolutely fantastic on the bed.

I need to get outside of my comfort zone more, but I will only do it with something smaller than a king-sized quilt! That was really ambitious on your part. Thanks for sharing, I need a little kick in the rear.

great quilting

I've always liked the brown/black combination. You've done a great job on the quilting too!

A masterful job. I'm not a really big fan of modern quilts but I certainly do like this one.

If you're not accustomed to non-traditional quilts, you sure pulled this one off. It's great and I love all the different quilting.

Terrific quilt! Looks more modern, and the quilting really adds fun dimension with the designs.

I'm not one for stretching either, so I understand. But I must tell you that your quilt is wonderful.

cheryl.....I love your quilt! It looks so elegant.
Did you use a set pattern or just wing it?
I am going to start practicing FMQuilting next week. It will certainly be outside my comfort zone. It is my 2018 quilting goal to become proficient with meandering/stippling.

Stunning work!! You should be very proud...this is lovely!!

It's fun to quilt outside the box! You never know what it'll be like in the end once finished, but somehow they usually look pretty good, as does yours! It's very nice and good practice treating each piece separately! Great job!!

Good job!!

Just beautiful! It looks like a work of art.

We must be related! That quilt would be perfect for my sister. That's her style.
I really love it- you did a great job!

It turned out great.

You did a great job on the quilt. Congratulations on quilting outside of you comfort zone.

I love that! more details, please--pattern or totally improv? did you use rulers to cut all, some, none?

It's fantastic!

Everyone needs to get outside their box! Your quilt is beautiful-the color combination is wonderful, the pattern is great and the quilting interesting. I am glad you ultimately enjoyed your experience. Keep up the great work.

You did a wonderful job...congratulations on challenging yourself and doing such a great job.

Wow, it's a great quilt!

nice quilt....and a good idea for practice!

I understand that "shouting" is not allowed on this board but cheryl deserves to be shouting on that one! Love the colors but look at the size of that quilt. Very well done, dear. You deserve a shout!!!!

Love, love, love the quilting. You did great!

Well it may not be your favorite but I surely do like it!! What a wonderful idea to quilt it that way. Wish I could see more of the other blocks and how you quilted them. You must be so proud!!

Love it, it’s absolutely stunning

Wow
 

Oh I love it would you be willing to share the name of the pattern.

Such a wonderful quilt and, like others, I would love to know if you used a pattern and, if so, which one.

Your color combinations are great and I love the pillow shams you made to go with it.

That turned our to be a beautiful quilt. Love your FMQ.

Good job Cheryl. I like the way you quilted the different sections in various patterns. Also l liked your color choices.

It's probably not something I would use in my home, simply because my house is done in antiques so it wouldn't "go". However, that being said, I think it's a wonderful quilt and love that you quilted each bit differently. Good job.

Gorgeous quilt..Color are great

Greatly admiring of your work. Way to step out of your comfort zone, and you got a great result!!
