Rolling Stars - my second quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
The pattern is rolling stars by Whistlepeg and the fabric is Moda's Kansas Troubles Cattails. It used a jelly roll and a charm pack and a bit more....I used flannel on the back of it. I need to work on the quilting part of the project a bit more....that was a challenge for me....

That is so pretty. And the quilting improves with time, and I would guess that yours is just beautiful. Sometimes we are our own worst critics. Be easy on yourself, and keep up the good work.

Very pretty quilt you did a really good job.

Your quilt is beautiful, as is the photography! I know that I still find quilting challenging and that if I was more consistant at practicing it would be much better. My goal for this year is to really work on free-motion quilting both on my DMS and on the LA that I rent at my LQS.

Lea Day is starting a Free Motion Quilt Along on her blog. I watched the first installment (stippling) and her teaching method looks great. Anyone who is interested should be able to find the info here: http://www.freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/. I enjoyed following along with some of her posts in the Free Motion Quilting Project that she did last year.

That's a lovely quilt. And I'll bet the flannel makes it just as cozy as it looks. Great job!

wonderful quilt! i only wish my second looked that great.

QuiltforPD 01-05-2012 11:17 AM

Thank you for Leah Day's link. It looks awesome and I will follow along with her. I just ordered the octi-hoop too. I think that will help me a lot. I don't know how to do it the 'other' way so I won't have to relearn to use this one. I like that you don't use a foot for FMQ at all and there is no puckers then. I used a walking foot and I did have some puckers on this quilt and I used the 505 spray basting on it. (BTW, I LOVE that stuff)

owlvamp 01-05-2012 11:19 AM

Gorgeous quilt, love the colors.
